    Jewish teacher says colleagues at Bronx HS yelled ‘Heil Hitler’ at her amid months of antisemitic harassment: lawsuit

    Public school employees in the Bronx allegedly shouted “Heil Hitler” at a Jewish teacher a day after she found her desk littered with “Free Palestine” stickers, she claimed in a lawsuit.

    Emilie Baser, an English teacher at Harry S. Truman High School, was subjected to antisemitic harassment, discrimination and retaliation since February, according to the court papers filed Friday against the city Department of Education.

    The Co-Op City school did not properly investigate or address her concerns, and absurdly chalked the “Heil Hitler” incident up to the staffers being “engaged in an impromptu anger management training session,” she said in the Manhattan Supreme Court filing.

    On Feb. 6, Baser went to the administrative office to pick up a copy of the incident report about the stickers she had found on her desk the day before, as well as the previous Friday, she said in the litigation.

    “When she walked in, Eiron Diaz, a member of the staff, school aides, and secretaries in the guidance department, shouted ‘Heil Hitler’ at [her] and other staff members in attendance laughed,” Baser alleged in the lawsuit.

    “Mr. Diaz then continued to berate [Baser] for complaining about anti-Semitism.”

    Baser was afraid for her safety and suffering from acute stress disorder and clinical depression after the school failed to address her concerns, she alleged.

    The teacher claims she was further retaliated against when the school refused her requests to work remotely, take a sabbatical and for a line of duty injury leave as a result of the discrimination.

    Baser, who is seeking unspecified damages, did not immediately respond to messages from The Post.
