easyJet apologise over Holocaust memorial
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 six million Jewish victims of the Nazi genocide. The budget airline says it was unaware of the images until they appeared in the magazine, which is produced for the airline by media 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 and said it would withdraw this month's issue from all flights - thought to be 250,000 magazines.
INK did not seek permission from the Foundation for the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe to shoot the pictures. The foundation only became aware that the photographs existed when contacted by the New Statesman magazine, which discovered the pictures.
