AUCHWITZ SIGN OUTRAGE10.12.51pm GMT Sun 20th Dec 2009 Jacquie Bell writes In July I visited Auchwitz/Birkenhau Memorial site. I was moved by the mass of human hair, the toothbrushes and the railway siding going nowhere. One of my fellow travellers knew that her grandfather had been one of a small number of Jews taken from Italy who had died there. A few years ago I met a Rabbi and his wife who had met there. The entrance sign "Arbeit Macht Frei" - work makes you free -was one of the great lies of the 20th century. It was a symbol of one of man's greatest inhumanities. It is hard to say how saddened I am at the overnight theft of the sign - particularly in this year of the 20th anniversary of the fall of that other 20th century symbol - the Berlin Wall.
