Harvard mag sorry for sexualised image of Anne Frank

The Harvard Lampoon apologised this week for publishing a sexualised image of Anne Frank that depicted her face on the body of a bikini-clad woman.
The offensive image, which appeared in Sunday’s edition, was accompanied by the headline, “Gone Before Her Time: Virtual Aging Technology Shows Us What Anne Frank Would Have Looked Like if She Hadn’t Died”. Text below it read, “Add this to your list of reasons the Holocaust sucked.”
It immediately set off an uproar on Harvard’s campus, with students and faculty members demanding accountability at the Lampoon, an independent satirical publication run by students.
A Change.org petition calling for individual apologies from those responsible, a public report on what happened and other steps to overhaul decision-making at the magazine had gathered more than 350 signatures as of Wednesday.
Rabbi Jonah C Steinberg, the director of the school’s main Jewish center, Harvard Hillel, said he had emailed the editors of the magazine and compared the image to “the obscenity of the Nazis”. Frank died in 1945 at age 15 in a Nazi concentration camp in Germany.
The magazine was quickly pulled from distribution points around campus. On Tuesday, the magazine issued a public apology. “We realise the extent of offense we have inflicted and understand that we must take responsibility for our actions,” it said in a statement. “Furthermore, we want to both affirm and emphasize that the Lampoon condemns any and all forms of anti-Semitism.” It also promised to “restructure” its review process.
A Harvard spokesman, said on Wednesday: “The cartoon is not aligned with the values that Harvard College works tirelessly to promote, and we have already begun discussions with the students and organisation involved to ensure that appropriate action is taken.”
