Jan Liwacz
Jan Liwacz was a Polish locksmith and prisoner at Auschwitz, known for his role in creating the infamous entrance sign that bore the slogan 'Arbeit Macht Frei.' During his time at the camp, he inverted the letter 'B' in the sign as a subtle act of rebellion against the oppressive regime. Liwacz's small act of defiance has since been recognized as a symbol of resistance, reflecting the courage and resilience of those who suffered in concentration camps during World War II. He survived several camps throughout the war, including Mauthausen, and his story serves as a poignant reminder of the human spirit's struggle against tyranny.
