Summary
East Brook Middle School pulled back newly distributed yearbooks after administrators found an infant photo of Adolf Hitler in the baby-pictures section and said copies were collected immediately.
A June 25 letter from Principal Ryan Aupperlee called the image's inclusion unacceptable and a severe breach of school values, noting Hitler's role in the murder of 6 million Jews.
Paramus officials said the incident is under investigation by both the school district and law enforcement, with no immediate explanation for who submitted the image or how it passed review.
Students and staff had already signed some yearbooks, leaving the district to decide how to preserve personal messages while replacing or correcting the recalled copies.
The episode drew attention from the mayor and school leaders in a community that stressed it welcomes all faiths, widening scrutiny of how schools handle antisemitic material.
