‘Work Sets You Free’: Police Suspect Neo-Nazis Stole Infamous Auschwitz Sign

Scotsman: Polish police and border guards stepped up security at airports and border crossings yesterday as the search intensified for an infamous sign stolen from the Auschwitz death camp memorial. The brazen overnight theft of one of the Holocaust's most notorious symbols sparked outrage around the world, and Polish leaders said recovering the five-metre sign was a top priority. The sign read "Arbeit Macht Frei" – work makes you free – a grim Nazi slogan etched in the minds of millions. Police suspect the thieves are Neo-Nazis

Hello tipline, if your looking for the neo-nazis, you might want to look in Copenhagen, if they’re not there, they’re probably on the way back to Washington.

Is it possible Bammies plane just might have snagged it as he flew over? The phrase is similar to the ones his “Brown Shirted Youth Group” would probably use—–Ya think?

Obammy wanted it to hang on the Statue of Liberty.

Considering the context and what took place this sign should have been destroyed over 60 yrs ago.

freedom rocks   December 19th, 2009 - 11:40 am

txmike it has been waiting for the one.

duncan   December 19th, 2009 - 12:22 pm

I think some tweekers stole it

duncan   December 19th, 2009 - 12:25 pm

Then again it might be in the scrap yard as the USS Liberty was sent to

What is cruel about a work camp? Our allies, the USSR, had 10 times as many and for 10 times as long!

Look around – who has the real motto of “Work will set you free”? Ah, yes, the Jew bankers who create money for themselves and debt for YOU. When you borrow the money, they don’t have it. But YOU must slave away to give them real money in return for it.

It’s the GOP that’s the remnant of the nazis. Y’all are so dumb, you don’t even know that Shrubs grand daddy financed Hitler during WWII. And you voted for that moron too. Fascists are just too stupid.

Ray   December 19th, 2009 - 2:02 pm

Obama took it so he could install it at Gitmo. Stupid mother &^%$%#.

R.J. Nazi’s were socialist no matter how many times you try to deny it, the fact remains the same. I will agree with you on one point, there are plenty of leftist in the GOP as well.

Hitler’s Nazism draw heavily on Italian Fascism: nationalism (including collectivism and populism based on nationalist values); Third Position (including class collaboration, corporatism, economic planning, mixed economy, national syndicalism, protectionism, and the studies of socialism that fit the Nazi party ideologues and agendas); totalitarianism (including dictatorship, holism, major social interventionism, and statism); and militarism.

Uniquely, Nazism added a non-rationalist racial dimension to this otherwise typically Fascist ideology:

That paragraph is from wiki, arguably you can find similarities between Hitler’s beliefs and today’s american right, it is a serious oversimplification to make that claim. Even though he was staunchly anti-communist, his ideology shared many aspects of communism, major difference nationalism, however you can be a nationalist and a socialist at the same time.

Thank you for that thoughtful input. Author Jim Marrs, in his book, “The Rise of the Fourth Reich”, explains quite well the differences between Nazism(National Socialism), and Communism(International Socialism). This is something simply not understood by many among the chattering class. Both parties have seeds of both these philosophies. Connections can be made to the international bankers and the rise of both Nazism and Communism. And yes, R.J., the Bush family and their relationship with German industry, particularly I.G. Farben are discussed at length.

It’s a great read and I recommend it to anyone interested in this subject.

Bama stole it so he could put it over the first FEMA workcamp entrance.

Kris   December 19th, 2009 - 3:57 pm

I never knew about this sign over the camp. Guess the more things change the more they stay the same. It’s no different than 1984’s “Freedom is slavery” & “War is peace”. That book was more about human nature than anything else.

There will always be people trying to gain total power by twisting language to dupe the general population.

Words have meaning! Don’t be like a lamb to the slaughter & just accept what those in power tell us!

Terry   December 19th, 2009 - 5:11 pm

freedom rocks – why do neocons have such a blind spot for the COLLECTIVISM that is MILITARY ACTION. Seems to be no shortage of cheerleading for war from the neocons. Further, the justification (misplaced as it is) for such existance of a war machine is…ah hem…PROTECTION. Why do you guys oppose economic protection when it is through economics that wars are waged in the past and in certainly in the present and future. Protection seems to be working great for China and our lack of protection is not working for us. We need immediate, high tariffs. We need to bring back manufacturing jobs. Those who say otherwise are either ignorant or globalists who want to destroy this country (like the Bush’s, Obama, etc….)

Humanity is very disfunctional and needs a saviour. Jesus is coming soon, very soon. Repent.

Huh?   December 19th, 2009 - 7:30 pm

Kris,
You never knew about this sign? Where have you been?

Inspect   December 19th, 2009 - 10:39 pm

This all sounds very “fishy”.

That place had been begging very hard for cash recently.

I can’t help thinking “inside job”, just to draw attention to themselves.

We will see where this leads…

Terry   December 19th, 2009 - 11:53 pm

Good call, Inspect!

Yeah, like when Israel is murdering Palestinians by pure coincidence someone happens to spraypaint a swastika on a synagogue in the US – sometimes the rabbis get caught in the act of this false-flag terrorism like they did with the Lavon Affair.

Bill   December 20th, 2009 - 12:01 am

Work sets you free? Not anymore. The harder you work the more they will take. Unless your in crime,crime is doing well. Build yourself a nestegg or start a charity and the government is all over you,making sure you followed the rules. But if you traffic in sex slaves or deal drugs you have a better chance of keeping your books under wraps and being friends with,judges,politicians and cops.
The judges of the world,all over the world are criminals and the cops obviously are not effective against crime.
At least the fire deptartment is putting out fires. I hope the sign winds up on Ebay,I want it for april fools day.
Jews are still getting paid and nobody is allowed to research why. They can just buy a new sign. Hey Obama send another check to israel.

jbone   December 20th, 2009 - 12:02 am

terry you sound like an idiot or just some asshole who takes himself waaay too seriously.. auschwitz was a death camp for the majority going through that gate.. my grandfather died in auschwitz.. dumb bastard got drunk and fell out of the guard tower

Terry   December 20th, 2009 - 2:55 am

jbone December 20th, 2009 – 12:02 am

“auschwitz was a death camp for the majority going through that gate..”

Based on what?

Funny how many armchair experts there are – meanwhile the RED CROSS were THERE (and why would Hitler allow them in the camps if they were doing what you charge them with?) and said there was no mass exterminations.

duncan   December 20th, 2009 - 11:08 am

Inspect 10:39pm You might be on to something, Well done!

Angry Xgen'er   December 20th, 2009 - 3:03 pm

According to the BBC, the sign has already been replaced with a replica. So, we can all breathe a sight of relief.

RHEINHARD HEYDRICH   December 21st, 2009 - 6:02 am

One would think that for Jews it would be easily first in their list of things to do to make sure no one forgets: reconstruct Auschwitz. But the Jew will get someone else to pay for what is important to him. So they won’t pay for preservation. They will let Poland do it. Ahh… how interesting is the world. Maybe the 50% of the Obama administration that is Jewish can come to the rescue. What? You didn’t know that? Yes, 1.5% of America’s population, the Jews, are 50% of Obama’s people, and they are using a man from 16% of America’s population, the blacks, to do their bidding. Do you really think this man was up their all by himself? Relax and enjoy it Amerika, you are the new Israel. Don’t criticize though, because then you are anti-semtic. Silence all opposition.

duncan   December 21st, 2009 - 7:17 pm

Israel just got 2Billion+ military loan from the US Tax payers! WHY?
When will they let go of the apronstrings?

WHY is it Americas responsibility to shore up this country or any other for that matter?
Take care of USA & its citizens first.

60+ years, when is enough enough?

MadMike   December 22nd, 2009 - 1:37 am

It was Goldman Sachs who stole it and word is that it’s been sold to the U.N.
