They wanted to celebrate, have fun - and they would probably provoke. For her dorm party disguised themselves as students in New Zealand Nazi thugs and concentration camp inmates. The solid-line is ashamed of the derailment of the freshmen.
It should come as German, it said. And then they came as Nazis. Students at Lincoln University in New Zealand celebrated its "Oktoberfest" in a rather peculiar costumes: The newspapers "The Press" and "The New Zealand Herald reported that several students appeared in Nazi uniforms to their dorm party in Canterbury, while others dressed as concentration camp inmates .
According to reports, was on the costumes "Sieg Heil!" to read and "Hitler is my husband," a party guest should have worn a white top with swastikas. The New Zeland Herald quotes one student as saying that the party guests were "Heil Hitler started" and made tasteless jokes.
The Vice-Chancellor of the University, Roger Field, is now apologizing for the behavior of students. He said it was inappropriate and unacceptable.
Was, according to the president of the fraternity, Megan Harte, the party organized by dorm, not the university itself, the celebrants were inclined not racist and would not attach the Nazi ideology, "she said. Many of the students in the first year is not easy to know what it was about the Holocaust on themselves. Now, university and dorm management must decide whether to punish the students involved.
Stephen Goodman, president of the Council of Jews in New Zealand, expressed disappointment and stated that the students dressing up as a "disgusting show of ignorance".It was not the first time and would probably not be the last time that something like this happen in New Zealand. In most cases, however, be done out of ignorance and not malicious intent.
Brutal Rituals, unique icons: In compounds not uncommon
Again and again, student parties, and Uni-care rituals in which participants dress up as Nazis, for excitement. In autumn 2008, a student reveling in Nazi-optics in England Cheltenham was even shown on television. Because, first-year students have been humiliated, especially violent, then went to university after the fall.
Bizarre exams and partying habits of students are not only available in New Zealand and Britain, but around the world, especially for student organizations. For the often cruel and degrading rituals, there are names like Fala (Poland), Nonnismo (Italy) or Trote (Brazil). In France, the Bizutage ensures time and again for protests.
At U.S. universities are candidates for the fraternity Hazing sometimes doused with ice water, rubbed with urine or receiving electric shocks. Also on first-year students in the Netherlands are waiting grotesque tests: The Animal Protection Agency announced last year that students should be forced to swallow live goldfish too, by having sex with chickens is the question.
Students are also regularly exposed to Holland after the German border and will return to Amsterdam - clad only in tights and garbage bags.
