Police: Auschwitz 'Arbeit Macht Frei' sign stolen
OSWIECIM, Poland – The Nazis' infamous iron sign declaring "Arbeit Macht Frei" — German for "Work Sets You Free" — was stolen Friday from the entrance of the former Auschwitz death camp, Polish police said.

The 5-meter-long (16-foot-long), 40-kilogram (90-pound) iron sign at the Holocaust memorial site in southern Poland was unscrewed on one side and torn off on the other, police spokeswoman Katarzyna Padlo said.



kinda ironic that it wasn't under heavily armed guard.

boy they yanked that one quick, already gone an hour after you posted it

Apparently, someone over the week, had stolen the sign, that appeared over the gate, leading into Auschwitz.

Who would do such a thing like that?

Someone tried to sell the sign, on eBay?

Really?

By the way, someone is selling a sign, similar to the one stolen.  Opening bid..........  $75

What's more crazier, stealing the sign or selling it on ebay?

And who do they think they are?  Carmen Freaking Sandiego?

::)

Now that it's been found, I'd just like to convey my best wishes to the thieves:

(For some reason, the HR people at Hallmark aren't returning my calls.  Anyone know if Parker Brothers is hiring?  How about Lego?)

Feel as guilty as you want about laughing, but laugh - because the asshats have finally been caught, and the sign has been found, intact enough to be put back in its rightful place as a reminder to anyone who says work will set you free.

  I'm sure the eBay thing was a hoax.  Didn't last long;  Just like in 2004 when someone put Michael Moore's relevancy up for auction...

  Best wishes for a merry new year, jolly pranksters...

  At this point they're probably more like Where's Waldo...

Now, that is the most awkward Christmas card, EVER!

::)

Apparently the gate, was found and the people responsible, were planning on selling the pieces.

Now who would buy it?

I can just imagine the conversation that takes place, when the people who would have brought it, shows it to people.

"Is that what I think it is?"

"Yes, it's a piece of the stolen gate, from Aushwitz! So, what do think of it?"

And besides, where would one put it in their house?

First I thought it was American college students looking for souvenir for their dorm room. 
:D

Could be worse.  What if it was for a pizzeri*OW! OW! OW! OK, I'll stop!  I'll stop!* and settle for "How about over the deep-fryer at Arby's?"
