The Swedish Board of Education asked Stockholm Secondary School officials today to investigate charges that Jewish pupils in the school were being persecuted by schoolmates.
The headmaster reported that desks of the Jewish pupils were daubed with swastikas and anti-Semitic slogans were scrawled on blackboards. One Jewish girl collapsed from the persecution and had to leave school, it was reported.
