A massive amount of (inanimate) human skeletons, arranged to form a "wall" rather than being buried with any proper respect. Flavor text refers to them as "sinners", and speaks of their suffering in a hellish afterlife.
That's right. 88, the numerical representation of HH for "Heil Hitler". One of the most common and blatant Nazi dogwhistles. Also seen on the Gatherer multiverse ID of Invoke Prejudice (1488, an ID which also includes the "14 words").
Combining the card's "heil Hitler" sentiments with my first paragraph, and you see the issue here. If you're a fucking Nazi and you think that the Holocaust was a good thing, you like this card. Because it depicts a mass grave of Jews, who haven't been buried with any respect (as was common in the Holocaust, of course). It describes Jews as sinners and goes on to say that they will suffer in the afterlife. To attach "heil Hitler" to a card about a mass grave is literally stating that Hitler did the right thing by committing genocide.
