Sydney – A group of students from Australia’s Charles Sturt University have come under fire after photos came to light of them in Nazi uniforms, concentration camp prisoner clothing and Ku Klux Klan robes.
The students were attending a “politically incorrect” themed costume party on Thursday to celebrate the end of their exams. In
a photo shared on Instagram, three attendees could be seen wearing striped suites with Star of David patches marked “Jude,” meant to identify them as Jewish prisoners in a Nazi concentration camp, the Sydney Morning Herald reported. A fourth man in the background appeared to be dressed as Adolf Hitler.

“Jesus Christ, I Jews you as my lord and saviour #csulater #hazingisfun,” the caption read.
Another photo showed five individuals donning Ku Klux Klan robes, with a sixth squatting while wearing blackface and holding a bowl of cotton.
We are aware of an incident that occurred last night that may have involved Charles Sturt University students. The incident does not reflect our University values and we strongly condemn these actions.
CSU is currently investigating these incidents and social media posts.— Charles Sturt Uni (@CharlesSturtUni) June 15, 2018
