Dachau in the News

Well, this is just a quick post.  I was going to add this to my Oktoberfest blog but ,didn't think those of you who have already read it , would go back and read it again so I thought I would go ahead and do a quick post here.  I don't know if you remember this picture from the blog?

 

"Arbeit Macht Frei"

 or

"Work Sets You Free"

 

Well, the entire gate with that saying has been stolen!!!!  The guards noticed it first thing Sunday morning.  Now this is  a 75 by 37 inch gate made out of iron.  You have to get over an even larger fence before you get to this one.  How in the world did this happen??  You wonder who took such a thing, how no one noticed, and what is the reason behind it?  Was it someone who had family kept in the camp??  If I hear any further updates on this I will share. For now here is the link to the article.
