My apologies if the subject is too sensitive for anyone.
Definitely not my intent to offend.
I'm doing a research project on the much hated signs over the gates at some of the camps in Germany and I'm having a disagreement with someone on another project of that time period.
The prisoners mocked the sign over the iron gate with "Arbeit Macht Frei durch den Schornstein".
The disagreement is over whether the saying would be different if it were said or written by a Yiddish speaker. I said no and the other person says yes.
Again, my sincerest apologies if the subject is a sensitive one for readers.
And in the spirit of full transparency, I'm not Jewish. My father was but my mother wasn't.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
