UK: Nazi salutes and swastikas: Jewish pupils 'routinely bullied' at school
After Sarah’s son was surrounded by pupils giving Nazi salutes during a drama class reenactment, the gesture was directed at him in the playground, too. It was just the beginning of a tide of antisemitic abuse.
The class Snapchat group name was changed to “F*** Israel, Heil Hitler” and pupils recorded voice notes accusing the boy of being a paedophile “who thinks he can get away with it because he’s a Jew”.
The pupils, at a secondary school in London, also spread antisemitic tropes that Jews had caused the September 11 terrorist attacks, controlled all of the world’s money and were baby killers.
“He lost trust in his teachers. He got to the point that he felt there was no point complaining about the behaviour because nothing was done. We had to take him out of the school,” Sarah, whose name has been changed, said.
