    "A Polish judge has jailed a Swedish neo-Nazi for two years and eight months for plotting the theft of the "Arbeit Macht Frei" Auschwitz entrance sign.
    Anders Hoegstroem admitted theft under a plea bargain last month and will be moved to Sweden to serve his sentence."

    Perhaps living for a month as a Jew in camp like conditions (less the trip to the gas chamber) would be a better punishment and end his neo-nazi ideas.
