Abandoned Detroit auto plant sports ‘Arbeit Macht Frei’ sign
A sign on the overpass of an automotive plant in Detroit
reads in German "Work will make you Free," evoking images of the sign
on the gate of Auschwitz.
The red letters on white pieces of paper in the windows
of the overpass at the Packard Automotive Plant reads "Arbeit Macht
Frei," the Detroit Free Press reported Monday.
The letters are configured as they are on the Auschwitz
sign, including printing the upper half of the letter “B” in “Arbeit” bigger
than the lower half.
It is not known who installed the sign or when it was
installed.
The plant has been abandoned for at least a decade.
