Pa. yearbook marred by alleged Hitler quote
EASTON, Pa. — A quotation attributed to Adolf Hitler that made its way into a high school yearbook in Pennsylvania has left students, parents and educators mortified.
The principal of Easton Area High School, Michael Koch, says the material got through several layers of editing because of the sheer number of quotes peppered through the 272-page yearbook.
The saying, appearing with Hitler’s name below it, was, “And in the last analysis, success is what mattered.” It has been attributed to Hitler in at least one history book, published in 1963.
Koch says the district will replace the page with an edited version if parents and students ask.
The Express-Times of Easton first reported the story Wednesday.
