A middle school in New Jersey is asking students to return their yearbooks after staff found a baby photo of Adolf Hitler printed inside, according to a letter from the school’s principal obtained by Patch. The image was reportedly placed in a section of the yearbook meant to show baby pictures of students. School officials said they collected the books after learning of the photo.
According to Principal Ryan Aupperlee’s letter, the discovery was made at East Brook Middle School in Paramus, New Jersey, after students had already received their copies. Aupperlee said the image was later identified as an infant photograph of Hitler taken in 1889. He said the photo has become associated with hate and antisemitism in public, educational, and professional settings.
