Holocaust fashion shoot...
Easyjet is pulling all copies of its in-flight magazine, EasyJet Traveller, after it featured a fashion shoot featuring models posing in designer clothes amongst the concrete blocks of the "Field of Stelae", Germany's memorial to the six million Jewish victims of the Nazi genocide.
The magazine did not seek permission from the Foundation Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, which only became aware that the photographs existed when contacted by the New Statesman yesterday.
In a statement, the Memorial's director, Uwe Neumärker, said: "The Foundation Memorial does not support commercial shoots, and fashion photography is considered to fall into this category.
Easyjet has said that it was not aware of the images until they appeared in print. The magazine is produced by INK - an external publishing house and as a result, the airline is "now reviewing our relationship with the publisher and are withdrawing this month's issue from all flights."
