Polish radio: Arbet macht frei sign was headed to Sweden

Polish radio reported on Tuesday that the arbet macht frei (work makes you free) sign that was stolen from the Auschwitz concentration camp earlier this week was headed for Sweden.

The suspected thieves of the Arbeit Macht Frei ("Work Sets You Free") from the Auschwitz death camp in Poland planned on smuggling the metal sign on a ferry to Sweden, according to a report by Polish state radio Tuesday.

According to the report, the sign was destined for a Swedish citizen. It remains unclear whether or not the Swede was a middle man or the person who commissioned the theft. The Polish police declined comment and would not confirm or deny the report.

Maybe the Swedes want to open their own concentration camp.

By the way, according to some of the people in the group I was with last night, with the exception of Swedish President Prime Minister Reinfeldt and his Foreign Minister Carl Bildt (pictured), the rest of the ruling coalition is actually not as bad as the opposition there. The Swedish opposition is even worse than the ruling coalition.
