IHRA Chair's Statement on Harper's Magazine Cover
The Chair of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) condemns Harper Magazine's use of Nazi symbolism on its February 2014 cover for a feature entitled "How Germany Reconquered Europe." The inappropriate use of this imagery trivializes the Holocaust and the National Socialism period in an attempt to sensationalize a modern political issue.
Cases such as this illustrate the necessity of IHRA's "Working Definition of Holocaust Denial and Distortion," which was adopted by IHRA's 31 member countries in October 2013.
