Someone stole the infamous “Arbeit macht frei” sign from the gates of the Nazi Auschwitz death camp in Poland.
And so Poland is on the hunt for the thieves. It has even sought the help of the Interpol and Europol.
Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed his shock at the news.
He said, “I want to express the shock that this theft has provoked and I call on the Polish government to act and to find the criminals who violated this place where more than a million Jews were killed. It’s important to put this sign back to preserve the place where these crimes and terrible acts were committed.”
In English, the sign means, “Work Will Set You Free.” It has always reminded people of the horrors of the camp where 1.1 million mainly Jewish prisoners died from overwork, starvation, and gas chambers during the World War II.
The theft of the sign has caused outrage from many groups, including world leaders, Jewish groups, and Holocaust survivors.
