We’re on strike.
The decision by @theberlinermag
to run an ad campaign for the Nova Festival Exhibition
was taken against the explicit objections
of editorial staff and regular freelance contributors.
Despite its claims of non-politicization, this exhibition is,
as the Holocaust historian Ben Ratskoff has shown,
in the business of instrumentalizing Holocaust memory to rally support for the current destruction of Gaza.
These ads also come after months of pressure on the magazine
to suppress coverage of the genocide and its impact in Berlin.
The magazine even turned off captions on these posts.

I joined The Berliner last year to build up the Carnal Knowledge section,
once dismissed as “trivial,”
and create reporting that treats difficult subjects seriously.
Working with people who trusted me with their stories has been the highlight of my career.
That’s why this moment is so devastating:
these ads and initial policies undermine everything we’ve tried to build and the integrity of our work.

I will not contribute to the magazine as long as these ads remain.
Our protest continues until they are pulled.
