The original sign itself was a desecration.. a brutal joke at the expense of the Nazi's captured slave labor and death camp victims.

So how does it being stolen 'desecrate' the victims of the Holocaust?


It's once again, about perception.
Your half right and half wrong.
The original sign was not a desecration or a Brutal/Sick ''Joke". Or a "Holy Relic".
It was a humiliating insult meant to strip all who entered beneath it, of all there individuality, cultural identity, possesions, families,
and ultimately there lives.
Ultimately, the camp itself and associated trappings preserves the memory of what was possibly mankinds darkest hour.
As we go further into the future, the living memory of what happened there dies off. The sheer horror fades.
Many would just as soon forget the Holocaust ever even happened. Worse still, other's vehemently deny it happened
at all. In 20 years....no will remain alive to remember first hand. That sign stood to remind and keep the old wound's festering.
It 'WAS' a tangible voice that read " those who do remember the past..........." as much as it's original inscription.
That's what make's the vandalism/theft of this particular REMINDER so offensive.
That's my perception.
