Stolen Dachau 'Work will set you free' gate found | Bangkok Post: news


BERLIN - An iron gate from the former Nazi concentration camp in Germany's Dachau with the slogan "Arbeit macht frei" ("Work will set you free") has been found two years after it was stolen, police said Friday. Workers attach a new entrance gate at the former concentration camp in Dachau, southern Germany, on April 29, 2015"Due to an anonymous tip-off, police in Norway's Bergen have secured an iron gate with the well-known text," said Bavaria state police. "From the picture transmitted, police believe it is highly likely that this is the iron gate that was stolen from Dachau." Located just a few kilometres from Munich, the Dachau camp opened in 1933, less than two months after Adolf Hitler became chancellor. Another sign with the same inscription at the former Nazi death camp Auschwitz was stolen in 2009.
