TIKhistory | The Nazi meaning behind Auschwitz’s “Work sets you free” @TheImperatorKnight | Uploaded July 2023 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
"Arbeit Macht Frei" is a phrase Rudolf Höß put above the gates of Auschwitz, and it translates as "work sets you free" or "work makes you free". But why did they chose this particular phrase? What is the deeper meaning behind the phrase? Let's find out.
This video is discussing events or concepts that are academic, educational and historical in nature. This video is for informational purposes and was created so we may better understand the past and learn from the mistakes others have made.
See this playlist for all the relevant videos on National Socialist ideology, philosophy and economy. I'd recommend starting from the top and working through it in the given order, but if you want to get to the heart of the religion behind National Socialism, start with the video "The REAL Religion behind National Socialism" and go from there youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNSNgGzaledgxP4QadjKhk4bI6x2PbScO

ABOUT TIK 📝
History isn’t as boring as some people think, and my goal is to get people talking about it. I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do.
