Members of the BNK48 girl group take notes from history at an exhibition at the International Holocaust Remembrance Day Ceremony in Bangkok on Thursday. (Photo from embassy of Israel)BNK48, the super group which triggered outrage after a member wore a T-shirt emblazoned with a Nazi swastika, has been taking part in Holocaust education programmes. Pichaya "Namsai" Natha wore the swastika T-shirt shortly before International Holocaust Remembrance Day in January. Band members said they had discussed the Holocaust in grade-school classes, but the education did not go into enough detail. Besides cooperating with BNK48 on awareness activities, the embassy hosts Holocaust education programmes at Thai schools and universities.
