  Arbeit macht frei - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Arbeit macht frei" is a German phrase meaning "work brings freedom" or "work shall make you free".
It is probably derived from John 8:32 in The Bible, "the truth shall make you free" and from there, via the Protestant work ethic, developed into a German and Swiss-German peasant saying.
In 1938, the Austrian political cabaret writer Jura Soyfer and the composer Herbert Zipper, then both prisoners at Dachau concentration camp, wrote the Dachaulied, the Dachau song.

 Arbeit Macht Frei - Wikipedia
Arbeit macht frei (meaning "work is liberty," or more loosely, "work makes you free") is the slogan currently found at the sites of several former Nazi concentration camps.
The slogan can now be seen at the entrances of these camps, including those at Auschwitz I, Dachau, Gross-Rosen, Sachsenhausen, and the Terezin Ghetto-Camp.
These slogans were in place at the entrances of these camps when they were taken by the Allies at the end of World War II.

 The "Arbeit Macht Frei" gate into the former Dachau concentration camp
The sign which reads "Arbeit Macht Frei" was removed some time after the camp was liberated, but it was reconstructed in 1965 at the same time that two barrack buildings were reconstructed for visitors.
The slogan "Arbeit Macht Frei" was allegedly coined by Propaganda Minister Josef Goebbels in an effort to convince the public that the Nazi concentration camps were merely work camps designed to politically rehabilitate Communists, Social Democrats and anarchists.
This slogan was first used over the gate of a camp in the city of Oranienburg which was set up in an abandoned brewery in 1933 during the time that the first political prisoners were being held for an indefinite period without charges in a number of camps in Germany.

 Work Liberates
It is believed that "Arbeit Macht Frei" originated with the inscription on the gates of the Dachau concentration camp, outside of Munich, which opened in April 1933.
Simon Garfield in "Mauve: How One Man Invented a Color that Changed the World" (Norton, 2002) states that the original use of the phrase "Arbeit macht Frei" was a slogn on posters to discourage unionization at the I.G. Farben synthetic rubber plant at Buna before it used slave labor and was the Auschwitz administrtion.
However, it seems logical to assume that "Arbeit Macht Frei" was borrowed from the concentration camps inside of Germany, as Auschwitz III-Monowitz/Buna was not in action until 1943.

 Entrance gate with "Arbeit Macht Frei" sign   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
In the 1940's "Arbeit Macht Frei" or "Work Sets You Free" reminded Europeans of the 1920's widespread unemployment until German National-Socialist Work Programs starting in 1933 created jobs to build everything from rail-engines to the Autobahn thereby freeing people from hunger and poverty.
From 1941 to '44 inmates working in wood furniture construction and sewing shops as well as at the Monowitz chemical plant received slightly more food and were respected by other inmates.
After the war Holocaust promoters said the sign was a ruse to beguile inmates destined to be murdered, but the sign actually meant exactly what it said.
