Harvard humor mag accused of anti-Semitism after running photoshopped Anne Frank bikini photos
The Harvard Lampoon, an undergraduate humor magazine, apologized after students criticized its decision to publish a retouched image of Holocaust victim Anne Frank in a bikini.
Jacob Schwartz, a Harvard student, called the image “beyond acceptable” in a post on Facebook, also expressing that the photo trivializes the Holocaust, sexualizes an underage girl and makes light of her murder. As a self-identified Jewish person, he wrote, he didn't feel comfortable on campus if that image is considered acceptable.
In the two days that passed since the petition was created, it gathered over 300 of its 500 signature goal. Among other demands, it called for a public apology and the release of a report explaining how the content was published and how similar content will be prevented in the future. Moving forward, Grundlingh, Stovitz and Spiro said they will approach the magazine’s content with “greater care” because their publishing process lacks “sufficient editorial oversight.”
