"Auschwitz sign stolen..." Article Response

In the article " Auschwitz sign stolen: 'Arbeit Macht Frei' slogan sat over German Nazi death camp entrance in Poland" written by Samuel Goldsmith the crime of the world renown sign that was seen before entering into the once largest Jewish death camps, Auschwitz, is looked at and discussed. This act was seen, to a majority of people, as a horrible and heinous crime. The sign that symbolized all the wrong that was done upon the Jewish people during World War II and their perseverance and strength was stolen, cut up, and not to be seen again. Many were very upset at what had happened and demanded the sign back from those who took it away. In my opinion, it was wrong to steal something that meant a lot to many people in the world. As aforementioned the sign represented not only the cruelty of those who lead and supported the continuation and working of these death camps, but the overall determination, might, and wisdom of the many Jewish who were victim under the hands of their captors. To steal something that was so important to history and the lives of other human beings is a definite crime and it should have never been committed.
