Pupils at a boarding school in Somerset performed a Nazi salute after watching a play about Hitler, it has emerged.
Photos show pupils at Millfield School, where fees are £45,000 a year, laughing while doing Sieg Heil salutes facing a swastika flag and an actor dressed as Hitler on stage.
Alumni of the school include Ben Wallace, the Defence Secretary, Thailand’s King Maha Vajiralongkorn and Romeo Beckham.
The school has apologised after a parent complained and highlighted that the one-man play Adolf had been staged hours before Yom Kippur. Pupils also complained to the headmaster.
“It makes me feel sick,” the parent of a Jewish pupil told the Jewish Chronicle. “What on earth were the teachers thinking? It would not be appropriate to give this kind of play the green light for school children at any time, least of all on the eve of Yom Kippur.”
