Stolen Dachau Gate Believed Found in Norway
German police say the wrought iron gate to the Nazis’ Dachau concentration camp that was stolen two years ago appears to have been found in western Norway.
Bavarian police said Friday that the gate, bearing the slogan “Arbeit macht frei,” or “Work sets you free,” was located in the Bergen area after authorities received an anonymous tip.
They’re trying to determine if it’s authentic, but say there’s a “high probability it is the iron gate stolen in Dachau.”
