“Gone Before Her Time: Virtual Aging Technology Shows Us What Anne Frank Would Have Looked Like if She Hadn’t Died,' read the school's humor magazine.

The image, which simultaneously sexualized both a Holocaust victim and a 15-year-old girl, received widespread condemnation from Harvard students and members of the community.

Hillel director Rabbi Jonah C. Steinberg sent an email to the magazine's editors, which he shared with BuzzFeed News, that compared the image “to the obscenity of the Nazis.” "I hope these students do not believe that their principal error was unwittingly blundering over a line into apparent anti-Semitism and upsetting the Jewish community," Steinberg told BuzzFeed News."At root, their mistake was knowingly taking the image of a murdered child and turning it into pornography.

"Its sexist and racist culture discourages women and minorities from entering comedy, exacerbating an already-pressing diversity problem within the field," the petition states.
