VERY RARE USED Arbeit Macht Frei iron sign from KL Osthofen Concentration Camp Certified By The Gettysburg Museum Of History. Arbeit Macht Frei iron sign from KL Osthofen Concentration Camp which was removed from a gate by a worker several decades ago, sometime in the 1950โs itโs believed. The man who took possession of this sign worked for a company that was tasked with demolition of certain buildings and structures within the camp and were allowed to keep anything that was ordered to be discarded. He had the good sense to think the Arbeit Macht Frei iron sign might have some historical significance and decided to bring the nearly 70 lbs piece home where he stored in a barn for decades and ultimately forgot about it. It measures 41 inches across, 14.5 inches tall. Its weight is about 70 pounds. Interestingly, the sign was decorated with painted metal oak leaves and swastikas on each side and were welded to the gate itself. These decorations are obviously original and not modernly added.This item will be shipping from US. We added some photos of the gate at the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp with the same design gate and sign.ย ย ย Complete museum documentation (COA) Provided.
