It's not only over the top but also incorrect. Auschwitz II - Birkenau gate does not have that slogan above it's gates. Auschwitz I does.

Really not the point very much. But thanks for pointing it out.

Where does it say which concentration camp it is? Or are you critiquing the placement of the chimneys?

Because Auschwitz I doesn't have brick facing, and Auschwitz II: Electric Boogaloo doesn't say Arbeit Macht Frei.

It's a cliche picture of the train entrance into the Auschwitz II - Birkenau extermination camp.

Ah. Now that you mention it I see you're architecturally right. The setting of "Arbeit Macht Frei" is a lopsided gate to a miserable place, but without a singular building.

Isn't this a cheaper shot than "This looks shopped"?

I think they put the iconic phrase there not because it's historically correct, but because it's 1) iconic - everyone knows what that means even if they don't know what Auschwitz II looks like 2) encapsulates what the cartoonist thinks Republicans believe about healthcare and work. Honestly, it's for artistic and ideological purposes.
