Bad enough when personal property has been taken, but something of historical significance is a loss of greater magnitude.
Thieves in Poland stole a famous Nazi sign from the gates of the Auschwitz concentration camp that reads "Work Will Set You Free," authorities said Friday.
The sign at the death camp's entrance became a symbol of the horrors of the Holocaust, implying that hard work was the way imprisoned Jews could get out of the camp. More than a million people died at Auschwitz, most of whom were condemned to gas chambers.
The theft - which police said may have been ordered by a private collector or a group of individuals - sparked widespread outrage.I am dumbfounded as to who would want to possess this.
It would be a real shame is the scumbags who took this already sold it for scrap and it is melted down.
