Because the artist is Khyle. He (or she, I dunno) always has to slip something in his pictures that make you do a double-take. Through in that case, I think it's just a joke on how school is a horrible place to go rather than Anya literally being sent to a concentration camp.
Apparently the book Anya is holding is written by a holocaust survivor, so it's more likely that Yor is simply dropping Anya off at an Eden Academy field trip to learn about history.
I wonder why a lot of people keep talking negative of that artist? I mean, it's just anya going to school, not a popopoka's levels of bullying towards blind girl...
Was always morbidly curious what was gonna be the 'too far' catalyst for this artist, and judging by just how many outsiders I've seen posting about this, I guess it was this.

The topic in itself is their usual brand of very dark humor, but I think it's the fact that they posted this on the International Holocaust Remembrance Day that is considered going too far for many people. And I highly doubt that this was a coincidence.

Makes sense, dark humor like that is always a matter of dancing around a very delicate line, and Khyle might have overstepped it.
Also added anachronism on the off-chance it isn't a field trip of sorts
Pretty amusing not surprising considering that it is Germany. A school being compared to a death camp is pretty tame stuff all things considered. I wonder how these people would have reacted to /a/ celebrating the holocaust back when Guilty Crown aired.
Not much of a surprise considering anything vaguely related to the Nazis is actively discouraged if not outright illegal regardless of the context (including barring certain WWII-related games from using the Swastika, or raising your hand in class to answer questions being frowned upon).
TBH, how many of us would have remembered it if it was Holocaust Remembrance day if not for this?
Given the size of this site, it's likely that there would have been a couple Jews and other people who had their family trees pruned in the funny Austrian mustache man and his merry men's human slaughterhouses. I would think that at least some of them would have remembered it. Maybe some Germans who feel especially guilty that their grandparents/great-grandparents took part in the previously mentioned one-balled painter's campaign of conquest and genocide would have also remembered that said day exists.

I'd imagine, I'm just saying it's not something anyone not indirectly involved is likely to mark their calendars for. Hell, I'll admit I have a greater awareness of national coffee day

As an American I can't recall ever hearing of it before this kerfuffle. There's a grand irony in that.
I mostly know because some knucklefuck saying some stupid stuff around this time, and subsequently people freaking out.

Because physical abuse is less revolting to normies than merely talking about the holocaust.

No one in where I'm from. But then again, we were never really part of the Semitic conversation compared to most of the other Western world despite being part of the Axis in WWII; as much as it's almost universally seen as an abhorrent event in history.
why is the artist only getting backlash for this when he made other fucked up art too? whats so special about this one?
There's a band wagon that circles around SxF content, trying to protect the "wholesomeness" of the show and characters. Even though the show's backstory literally has mad science experiments and war crimes as part of it where the most staple cast member is Twilight, a war orphan who's defining moment was wandering alone, crying for help, through city streets blown to rubble. And Anya and Yor are *much* more screwed up than he is.
Everyone in the show is living a lie, both to deal with their immediate problems, and the ones from their pasts.

The artist posted it on Holocaust Rememberance day, which I sincerely doubt was a coincidence. The Holocaust is still a forbidden joke topic, though I doubt his intentions were to be antisemitic.

It's no surprise really, wait no, I can't assume that

My chatolic school was literaly build like a prison. I AGREE!

Wether their intent meant to make an antisemitic statement or not it still in bad taste to post a Holocaust joke during Holocaust remembrance day. Them not being antisemitic doesn't less make it less bad just make them look like a lonely manchild (or womanchild) who want to make edgy jokes just to get attention. god worst side of otaku community just straight up cancer

Given that I just realized part of the reason I was getting so much of a certain kind of content on my twitter was following then, I think it might be more likely than you think

So when you say that, what exactly do you mean? Do you mean Khyle. posts/retweets antisemitic content? Because that doesn't seem to be the case looking at their Twitter. In fact, their art seems to be the only thing they ever post, and I can't find anything antisemitic even in their likes, though I only skimmed that for a minute. So you can't mean that, and you can't mean your following tab, because that would only consist of content posted/retweeted by the people you follow.
So you must mean the For You tab, which should recommend content from both the people you follow and people you don't that the algorithm thinks you want to see, based on what you already browse. Which means you're suggesting that Khyle, the artist who posts nothing but his own art, was the sole, or at least primary, reason you were being recommended "a certain kind of content"? Sounds like a "citation needed" moment to me.
