The released photo shows cups aligned in the form of the Star of David on one end of the table, with a swastika was placed on the opposite side. According to reports, the team of "Jews" gets an "Anne Frank" cup they can hide anywhere in the room, and the "Nazis" group is granted the opportunity to "Auschwitz" an opponent, forcing them to sit out.
The school was later informed of the incident by Peter Berg, a local rabbi, who was shown the image by concerned residents.
"The fact that someone could even conceive of such a game, and then play it and think it's funny is beyond words," Berg told WSB-TV2.
The elite prep school later released a statement saying "character education is at the heart of all we do at Lovett, and we deeply appreciate the individuals and organizations across our community who are helping us to continue to learn and grow from this very troubling incident."
According to the Anti-Defamation League the Atlanta metro vicinity has seen an 86 percent spike in cases of anti-Semitism, including in schools within the last year and a half.

"As a community we all have a role in teaching our children to make good decisions, to be legally responsible, and to be respectful members of a diverse society," Steve Cochrane, Princeton schools superintendent, said in a statement in 2016. "An incident such as this one, forces us to take a hard look at our efforts in educating our children in the values that may be most important to their success in life."
