{"product_id":"arbeit-macht-frei-9783111153117","title":"'Arbeit Macht Frei'","description":"The origin of the phrase 'Arbeit Macht Frei' is in the name of a novel \nfrom 1873 written by German philologist and novelist Lorenz Diefenbach \n(1806-1883). The Weimar Republic's government and the Nazi regime \nadopted this phrase. \u003cbr\u003eThe Nazis placed it on several camps' gateways as \nmisdirection, with contempt and irony, to instill false hopes in the \nprisoners' minds and prevent resistance and insurrection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book \nfocuses on the various representations, meanings, and interpretations of\n the image 'Arbeit Macht Frei' in artworks. \u003cbr\u003eAmong the artists are \nHolocaust survivors, second-generation descendants of Holocaust \nsurvivors, and others. They have used the inscription as a motif from a \npersonal or general point of view to convey political statements and \nmessages, or to present values, morals, or universal perceptions.","brand":"Batya Brutin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48280093458683,"sku":"9783111153117","price":108.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9783111153117_94007e5d-bd25-4ca5-88d3-4bae786b78c8.jpg?v=1772488498","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/arbeit-macht-frei-9783111153117","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
