Cambridge college apologises for Nazi camp image on 'welcome' pamphlet
Students were “upset” after an image of the gates of Auschwitz bearing the Nazi slogan “Arbeit macht frei” appeared on the cover of the pamphlet designed to help induct students into the prestigious institution.
However, the Dean of Emmanuel College, Reverend Jeremy Caddick, said the death camp photo was chosen as an “iconic image of evil”.
It was paired with a religious sermon on Thursday evening, concerning the nature of evil and the steps people can take to resist it.
The Dean said the college choir had recently travelled to Poland and visited Auschwitz, where he had been touched by the story of a Polish priest who had taken the place of another prisoner about to be killed in the gas chamber.
