Police are investigating a photo posted on social media that showed students from a New Jersey school playing a “Jews vs. Nazis” drinking game.
The photo was shared on Snapchat, where one Princeton High School student captured it and wrote about it on her blog. It shows students playing a version of beer pong dubbed “Holocaust Pong” or “Alcoholocaust.”
Students can be seen pouring beer into two sets of cups arranged in the forms of a Star of David and a swastika.
The 17-year-old student who blogged about the photo, Jamaica Ponder, told NJ.com the students were her classmates. “They’re prominent individuals that everybody knows, captains of sports teams.”
The Princeton Police Department said Friday that it has started an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the photo, NJ.com reported.
