Auschwitz As Advertising

Ever feel like you just walked into the wrong world? 

 

The website of the Estonian company GasTerm Eesti on Aug. 23 published a photograph of the front gate of the Nazi camp Auschwitz with the famous inscription "Arbeit macht frei," or work makes you free. The caption of the photo read:


"Gas heating -

flexible, convenient, and effective."

 

The next day the photo was removed from the company's website and an apology was posted there.


Haaretz has the full story.
