anti-Semitic incident at Auschwitz memorial (click links on the right for more information)
NYT reports that last night between 3:30 a.m. and 5 a.m. Friday, the iron sign over the gate to the Auschwitz memorial (with the infamous phrase “arbeit macht frei”) was stolen.
The polish police assume that the theft took place in a reaction to an agreement reached in Berlin on providing about $90 million to maintain the memorial and museum and the former concentration camp.
