An iron gate from Dachau concentration camp in Germany, bearing the notorious "Arbeit macht frei" ("work sets you free") slogan, has been found in western Norway two years after it was stolen, local police said Friday. "The gate is in OK condition and will be returned to German authorities as soon as possible," police in the western city of Bergen wrote in a statement. Police got an anonymous tip that led to the find, but no arrests have been made in the case. Bergen Police say issued two pictures of the gate propped up in a store room, apparently intact and mostly black with some flaking paint. German authorities made a replica of the gate, measuring 1.87 meters (6 feet 2 inches) high and weighing 108 kilograms (238 pounds), that was installed at Dachau last year to mark the 70th anniversary of the camp's liberation by U.S. troops on May 3, 1945. The Nazis set up Dachau outside Munich only weeks after Adolf Hitler took power. Initially designed to detain political rivals, it became the prototype for a network of concentration camps where 6 million Jews were murdered. More than 41,000 people died at Dachau and more than 200,000 people had been detained in the camp by the time it was liberated at the end of World War II. In December 2009, a similar "Arbeit macht frei" sign was stolen from the entry gate of the former Nazi death camp of Auschwitz in Poland by a Swedish man with far-right ties.
