'Arbeit Macht Frei’ Gate Thought to Be Stolen From Dachau Is Found
Breaking Newstags: Dachau, Arbeit Macht Frei
A wrought-iron gate bearing a notorious Nazi slogan and believed to have been stolen from the Dachau concentration camp in southern Germany has been found in a suburb of Bergen, Norway, police officials in the two countries said on Friday.
The gate, bearing the phrase “Arbeit Macht Frei,” or “Work Sets You Free,” was one of the most photographed symbols of the camp. It was stolen in November 2014 in what the German authorities believed was an organized crime. An anonymous tipster alerted the Norwegian police to the presence of the gate.
Margrethe Myrmehl Gudbrandsen, a police spokeswoman in Norway, said the tip had come in this week, but she declined to give further information. She did not provide any details about the exact location of the discovery.
