Workers at a state school in Victoria brought weapons to school, baked a cake with a Nazi cross, and made a student wear his Nazi hat, the Times reported. The staff member is now under investigation.
This is what happened to Dromana Secondary College in a history lesson about World War II. The worker is also said to have allowed students to manipulate a Zyklon B gas tank that used to contain chemicals used by murder Jews.
In addition to the staff`s personal collection of military memorials, the students were given rifle, helmets and uniforms that the Australian army had used.
The Department of Education is investigating the matter. They say this is "a serious mistake in judgment."
"Nazi`s behavior is abominable and should not be forgotten by future generations. The use of symbols or artifacts to attempt to normalize Nazi is totally unacceptable. " It is reported that the staff member is not a teacher. He also posted pictures on Facebook, including students fiddling with rifle, wearing a hat with the Nazi logo and checking the Zyklon B gas tank.
A worried netizen immediately reminded the Anti-Defamation Commission, a Jewish group against anti-Semitism.
Dvir Abramovich, chairman of the anti-defamation committee, said he was shocked and heartbroken.

He also said schools should create a safe learning environment at a time when white supremacy is on the rise in Australia.
"this time things are clearly out of bounds, and most people don`t understand how this could happen."
The school official said in a Facebook post that he had decided to bake a Hitler`s favorite cake after watching Hitler`s servant`s documentary.
He posted pictures of the freshly baked cake on the Internet with an apple bar with a Nazi cross mark.
"I`m glad it`s creamy. No wonder it`s Hitler`s favorite cake." A few days later, he wrote on Facebook that he had taken the rest of the cake to his class and shared the half-eaten cake with the students, and the cross marks were believed to be lost in sight.
The staff also said online that a student stole his Nazi badge. "there must be someone who likes the NSDAP badge more than I do, and it`s gone." He also added a crying face.
The man was a Facebook group member who sold military items from World War I and World War II.
Dromana Secondary College headmaster Alan Marr said the incident was not in line with their standards of conduct for employees and said the school was still investigating and would take appropriate measures.
The purpose of history was to educate students about the effects of World War II, but some of the items brought into class were totally inappropriate. "We apologize for the impact or pressure that the incident may have on students or community residents," Marr said, noting that students are aware of the important impact of the Holocaust and have visited Holocaust centres. "We will continue to reiterate to them the important lessons of World War II."
