Three men jailed for Auschwitz sign theft



Krakow, Poland
Three men have been convicted for stealing the infamous "Arbeit Macht Frei" sign from Auschwitz memorial site. They were given sentances ranging from 18 month to two and a half years. The authorities in Stockholm said last week that a Swedish former neo-Nazi, who allegedly instigated the theft, will be extradited to Poland to face trial.
