See here for earlier post. Okay, so you are thinking could this story get more surreal? The answer is yes. Apparently a group of Swedish neo-Nazis stole the sign in order to sell it and then allegedly use the profits to carry out a series of assassinations:
'A Swedish neo-Nazi group planned to sell the infamous "Arbeit Macht Frei" sign stolen from the Auschwitz death camp to fund an attack on the prime minister, The London Times reported.
"We are aware of the information about the alleged attack plans," Patrik Peter, a spokesman for the Swedish security police told The Times.
The sign, which means "Work Makes You Free," was stolen Dec. 18 by five men and was later found in three pieces several hundred miles from the camp in Oswiecim, Poland.
The thieves, all Polish nationals, were arrested and are being interrogated, Polish police said.
A Swedish newspaper reported that a former leader of a Nazi group said a buyer "was ready to pay millions for the sign."'
So white, Polish, neo-Nazi terrorists planned to murder the Swedish Prime Minister by stealing a piece of Holocaust history to sell to yet another neo-Nazi, the money from which would fund the entire act of terrorism.
The alleged five thieves have been arrested and are being interrogated. I would very much like to know not only the names of the neo-Nazi gang, but also of the buyer. Let's see if these cowards sing for authorities and name their entire band of haters and thugs.
H/T to reader Mogster for giving me a heads up.
