To all b-greek listers,
"Arbeit ,acht frei" is the inscription at the entrance to the Auschwitz
extermination camp, where millions of Jews and others were
slaughtered by the Nazis.
I am shocked to see this horrible thing trivialized in a discussion of
welfare (!) in what is meant to be scholarly discussion group.
I hope that those who have used it will consider what they are doing
-
the trivialization of the Holocaust - and stop this vile thing
immediately.
