Could have been any group, taking it.
Could very well have been a group of kids with too much to drink, doing it for the LULZ.
Could be a fundamentalist group, religious fundamentalist, or political fundamentalist.
Could be a collector. Could be...

Can't blame Auschwitz for not having guarded that heavily. Who would expect someone stealing that?

Hope it will turn up undamaged soon.

Knowing Poland, I don't have much hope for this turning up undamaged any time soon.

Arbeit macht (das Zeichen) Frei für diejenigen, die es zu stehlen

Seriously though, I hope they get it back, as well as the people responsible for doing it. --I would not be surprised if the ones responsible for taking the sign were part of the European or Polish Far Right/ Neo Nazis.

^My mum said they probably were.  We have a surprisingly bad problem with skinheads over there.  One such organisation even had our former Minister of Education as the head of it  ::)

Doubt that, otherwise the people who did it would have just left it vandalised there to make a point :P  I don't think there's much of a chance of getting it back really.

They found it in northern Poland, cut into three pieces (one with each of the words). Looks like they have some people in custody.

Weird, I wonder if we'll ever get to hear a reason for the cutting up.

Could of course simply have been a matter of logistics, and planning to weld it together later.
