So while going about my daily routine earlier this thought occurred to me.
Now as we all know the term 'Arbeit macht frei' (Work sets you free) was used as the slogan of several Nazi Concentration and later Extermination camps and as such now has the same stigma in the West and parts of Africa that the Swastika does.
So, What If the phrase was never used by the Nazi's, from a neutral standpoint it sounds like something some of the Communist regimes might use if it were'nt for the history behind it, might we see one or more of the Eastern Bloc countries use the term (translated into their national language(s)) or maybe some other Soviet backed/funded regime elsewhere?
