Bangkok: A Thai school
had to apologise to a Jewish human rights group after its students
caused a controversy by taking out a Nazi-themed parade featuring Adolf Hitler and his SS guards, a media report said.
In one of the photographs, a group of girls, dressed in Nazi SS
guards outfit and wearing the Nazi symbolic swastika armbands,
have been captured marching through the school ground, Xinhua
reported.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Jewish human rights group based in
Los Angeles, Monday issued a statement protesting the "disgraceful
display", accusing the school administration of "glorifying
Nazis".
The outrage came after some photographs taken on a sports day in
the school, in northern Thailand's Chiang Mai province, were
posted online.
The high school apologised soon after receiving the protest.
