So last night, some really sick sons of bitches vandalized Auschwitz, a sacred site to millions of the dead and the living, by stealing the sign from the gate.
"Work makes one free" was the meaning of the words written in German. The sign stood above the heads of those prisoners being marched in and out every day for slave labor in factories and construction sites. It gave a hint of a promise that if you worked hard enough, you may someday be free.
So last night, between 3 and 5am, some jerks stole it. They carried the sign to a waiting getaway truck and took off. The act is deplorable. No amount of damage done to the campsite can erase what happened there. Even if the camp itself were to burn down, it would still be the site of genocide and murder, pain and torment, torture and experimentations. You can try to blot out the stain the Nazis and their citizen collaborators made against mankind, but you can never erase it. The Nazis and those Germans who did not stand up against Hitler must live with the fact that they have blood on their hands.
May the Lord weaken the hearts of these sick assholes and allow the sign to be found and bring them to justice.
