Adolf Hitler baby photo in New Jersey middle school yearbook sparks investigation

PARAMUS, N.J. -- A photo of Adolf Hitler as a baby ended up in a New Jersey middle school's yearbook, prompting school administrators to quickly recall the books.

The pages were meant to be baby pictures of kids who just graduated from East Brook Middle School. Now, parents want to know how the Hitler picture got there, and why no one noticed until after the yearbooks were printed.

After collecting the books, administrators sent a letter to parents condemning the act.

"An image of him has no place in a yearbook created for our students. It does not reflect who we are or what East Brook stands for, and we condemn its inclusion without reservation," the principal said.

Paramus, New Jersey Mayor Chris di Piazza said the incident "doesn't represent Paramus...One bad action doesn't represent the town."

How the picture was included is under investigation. Paramus police were notified, and the information was shared with the Bergen County, New Jersey Prosecutor's Office.

The school is working to replace all the yearbooks.
