Response to article: Auschwitz camp's stolen sign recovered in three pieces
The sign leading to the entrance of Auschwitz camp was stolen and cut into three pieces. Each piece contained a word of the phrase that the sign read, "Arbeit Macht Frei" , meaning work sets you free. Although the death camp was a horrible institution where many innocent lives were lost, there is no reason for the destruction of its' sign. The sign stands as a symbol for all of the suffering that was endured at Auschwitz and a reminder of all of the lives that were taken. It is horrible that anyone would even think to steal it.

Great reflection Jackie. I agree with you that it is awful that anyone would want to steal this sign. Keep up the great work and have fun with the blog.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Jackie. I don't understand why someone would want to steal the sign in the first place. The sign was an important reminder of all the horrible things that happened during the Holocaust. It can also be seen as a warning to the world to never let something like the Holocaust happen ever again.
