Arbeit Macht Frei ... - a photo on Flickriver

Arbeit Macht Frei ...

             ... the now infamous slogan is on several of the metal gates at Dachau.  It translates as "Work sets you free." 

Dachau, about 16 km (10 miles) north of Munich, was the site of one of the earliest concentration camps setup by the Nazi regime.  The camp was opened in March 1933 and liberated by Allied forces in April 1945.

The Dachau Konzentrationslager was originally setup to hold political opponents of the Nazi party, but this was expanded to include Jews, Roma, homosexuals and other targetted groups.   Many prisoners were made to perform forced labor.  

It is estimated that there were over 200,000 prisoners; about two-thirds were believed to have been political prisoners, and nearly one-third were Jews.
