 Stolen Auschwitz Sign Found in PiecesPosted on Dec 20, 2009
“Arbeit macht frei.” Work makes you free. Those three German words sat over the entrance to the Auschwitz concentration camp in southern Poland for the better part of a century until the 16-foot, 90-pound sign went missing Friday. Police found it in northern Poland on Sunday, cut into three pieces. Five men were arrested. Why take it? Was it to become a morbid souvenir? Perhaps it was meant to be destroyed. Authorities have announced no motive, reports the BBC.

“Work makes you free.” Makes total sense to me…
I’ve pretty much resigned myself to the fact that
I’ll be working until I’m dead…. Social Security
looted to pay for the war machine, all disposable in-
come going to pay for medical bills… It’s enough
for me to know that by working until death I am able
to support gov’t workers retiring with full benefits
and cherry health insurance after 20 years…
Work makes you free… No problem…...

“Arbeit macht frei” was a slogan by Hitler, so I find it a pretty crass thing to leave there in the forst place, but that´s just me….
Report thisThese dumb ass Polish skinheads wouldnt know that, though….
Anti-semitism only worked so well over there because the Poles were (and to a good extent still are) rampant anti semites.

Unbeknown to most, the Auschwitz prisoners who made that sign included a warning to others that the message was false. That warning was the upside down “B”. The Nazis who ran the camp were not very literate or observant.
