An
Italian politician has used the "work makes you free" slogan used on
the gates at Auschwitz in a brochure to promote local job centres.

"Work makes you free. I don't remember where I read this phrase but it
was one of those quotes that have an instant impact on you because they
tell an immense truth," Mr Coletti, the president of Italy's southern
Chieti province and member of the centre-left "Daisy" party, wrote in
the pamphlet.
