can't believe the audacity of the thieves - and what do they think they can do with it?
having been there only a few months ago it is astonishing that they got away with it?

Was just there 5 months ago....Shocking.....horrible. After trying to teach my daughter about the atrocities that occured there in her terms..Hitler and his people were really mean and killed a lot of adults and children because they were different....it is hard to believe that people would deny that these events happened, would support them, or, as we see now, would desecrate such a significant site of remembrance.

I was there 9 years ago. I remember looking at that sign and thinking about what that looked like to the people who were worked to death in those concentration camps. Reply to this
