How did the famous Nazi slogan "freedom of labor" bring freedom?

Labor brings freedom "(German:" Arbeit macht frei ") is a slogan originated in Germany, which was used by the Nazis to put it at the entrance of concentration camps in the 20th century, so it has special significance.

This is a sentence from the German linguist Lorenz diefenbach, who named his novel Freedom of Labor: Erz? Helen von Lorenz diefenbach; In this work, gamblers and fraudsters find their way to the kingdom of virtue through labor.

But also because of this novel, it is widely circulated among nationalists.

"Labor brings freedom" was placed at the entrance of many Nazi concentration camps, perhaps to humiliate Jews (Nazi political propaganda described Jews as lazy people), as an ironic black joke, or to bring people false hope.

Jura Soyff, the author of Austrian Political Song and Dance Show from 65438 to 938, and Herbert Zipper, the composer, wrote Dances to Dachau when they were imprisoned in Dachau concentration camp. They had to go through the gates of the concentration camp for several weeks and engage in daily forced labor. They think that "labor brings freedom" on the door is an insult. This song regards this slogan as the "course content" of Dachau concentration camp and repeats this slogan in a sarcastic tone.
