3 Auschwitz thieves fail to show up for prison sentence

None

A Polish judge says three men found guilty last month in the theft of the notorious Auschwitz sign failed to show up to the prison to start their sentences.

 

Rafal Lisak, a judge at a Krakow court that convicted the men, says they were due to show up at a prison in Wloclawek on Tuesday but didn't appear. The three men were given sentences in March ranging from 18 months to 2.5 years for their roles in the theft of the Nazi death camp sign, which reads "Arbeit Macht Frei," German for "Work Sets You Free."
