[7] A video of the assault was published online on 25 March 2011 and quickly went viral, allegedly prompting one of the perpetrators to threaten netizens with lawsuits and forge a settlement letter from the victim.The settlement letter, supposedly signed by the victim, offered the families of the perpetrators NT$100,000 (US$4,650 in 2024[5][6]) in damages; it was quickly rejected by the local courts.A history teacher at the school, Liu Hsi-cheng, proposed to his homeroom students that they parade as historical figures for an anniversary event on 23 December 2016.[10][11] In preparation for the parade, Liu's students altered their black school uniforms to resemble those of the Schutzstaffel (SS), the paramilitary of the Nazi Party.Germany's de facto embassy in Taiwan, German Institute Taipei, stated: "Sadly, the students clearly do not understand that the Nazi symbol stands for disregard for human rights and oppression."[12] The Taiwan Presidential Office expressed its regret and disappointment, stating:[12][13] We feel it is extremely disrespectful to the Jewish people who had been victims of the oppression perpetrated during wars, but more importantly, it highlighted ignorance about history.
