The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Auschwitz Sign Recovered

From the Dec. 22, 2009, Global Times.

Less than a month before the 65th anniversary of the Allied Liberation of Auschwitz Concentration Camp (Jan. 27, 1945), Polish police recovered the famous "Arbeit Macht Frei" (Work Will Set You Free" sign, two days after it was stolen.

Five suspects were arrested with Neo-Nazi affiliations.

The five meter metal sign hung over the entrance gate in northern Poland where 1.1 million died.

In the meantime, the Auschwitz Museum had erected a metal copy of it and posted a $30,000 Euro reward.

Let's hope they will keep the original in the museum and leave the copy out in the elements after this.

Retaining the History. --GreGen
