easyJet apologise over Holocaust Memorial photos
21.11.09
easyJet has apologised after fashion photographs shot at the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin were published in its in-flight magazine. In the pictures, models pose in designer clothes among the concrete blocks of the ‘Field of Stelae’.
The memorial commemorates the 6 million Jewish victims of the Holocaust. The budget airline says it was unaware of the images until they appeared in the magazine, which is produced for easyJet by corporate magazine specialist INK. It is now reviewing its relationship with the publisher.
In a statement, easyJet said it ‘profusely apologises’ to anyone who was offended by the ‘inappropriate’ shoot. It has withdrawn this month's issue from all flights - thought to be over 250,000 magazines.
INK did not seek permission from the Foundation for the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe to take the pictures. The foundation only became aware of the photographs when contacted by the New Statesman magazine, which broke the story.
