(Jewish Group) East Bay high school teacher called out for antisemitic lessons



Students in 10th grade at a Hayward high school were given antisemitic conspiracy material by their English teacher, who on numerous occasions also made the “Heil Hitler” salute, students say.

Henry Bens, a teacher at Mt. Eden High School, introduced a required unit on the Holocaust memoir “Night,” by Elie Weisel, by handing out photocopies of a pamphlet called “The Hidden Tyranny” and asking students to annotate and mark the text, J. has learned.

“The Hidden Tyranny” is a 1978 hoax interview that purports to expose Jewish secrets for world domination.

Students say Bens told his classes that the truth had been hidden from them and that he was helping them “remove the blindfold.”
