“The words ‘Arbeit Macht Frei’, ‘Work Will Free You’, is a word play on the phrase taken from the Bible which says ‘Wahrheit macht frei’ (Truth will free you). In early 30s the slogan ‘Arbeit Macht Frei’ was very popular because of high unemployment level in Germany. Later it became a favorite motto of Nazi officers who forced prisoners to work in inhuman conditions.”

....now we are in power. If those pigs had come to power, they would have cut off all our heads. Therefore we have no room for sentimentalism. If anyone here cannot bear to see the blood of comrades, he does not belong and had better leave. The more of these pig dogs we strike down, the fewer we need to feed.
