A teenager’s antisemitic email to an online Jewish group has spurred his school into extending its Holocaust education programme.
The founders of a Toronto-based website, which alerts subscribers to bereavements, were shocked to see a message entitled “Nazis Rule!” declaring “Go and get locked up in those chambers you smelly big nose clowns!”
Managers of the Jewish Passings site were able to trace the 15-year-old who sent the message — because he had used his school email account.
The pupil was one of three boys from Horbury Academy in Wakefield, west Yorkshire, involved in a prank which involved signing each other up to free email newsletters.
