But not in its original condition.
Polish authorities have recovered the historical sign reading “Arbeit Macht Frei” from the Auschwitz museum that was stolen over the weekend, but it was found cut in to three pieces!
The police have detained 5 suspects between the ages of 25 and 39 and they were all taken to Krakow, Poland for questioning.
Museum spokesman Pawel Sawicki has said that conservation experts are working on how to best repair the sign and return it to its rightful place.
We’re glad the important piece of history has been found, but the people responsible for its theft and damage should be punished and TRULY ashamed of themselves!
