Police recover stolen Auschwitz "Arbeit macht frei" sign
(AFP) – 1 hour ago
WARSAW — Polish police said early Monday they have recovered the Nazi German "Arbeit macht frei" sign stolen Friday from the site of the Auschwitz death camp in southern Poland.
"We have arrested five men aged from 20 to 39 in the north of Poland. The recovered sign has been cut up," Dariusz Nowak, spokesman for the police in southern Krakow, told AFP.
Polish police had earlier stepped up border checks as they intensified the hunt for thieves who stole the infamous sign from the Auschwitz death camp, now a museum.
Road blocks were in place across the southern Polish region, while around 40 officers and forensic experts were mobilised to gather evidence at the camp itself, said Nowak.
Poland had sought the help of the international policing bodies Interpol and Europol to try to track down the criminals, he said.
The sign, which means "Work Will Set You Free", came to symbolise the horror of the camp where 1.1 million mainly Jewish prisoners died during World War II, from overwork and starvation but mostly in the gas chambers.
Its theft Friday at dawn from the camp entrance sparked a chorus of outrage from world leaders, Jewish groups and Holocaust survivors.
