Volkswagen boss apologises for Nazi gaffe | |
keybored  User ID: 77443882  Belgium03/14/2019 02:11 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The chief executive of Volkswagen has apologised for evoking a Nazi slogan to describe the importance of boosting the group's profits. Herbert Diess used the line "Ebit macht frei" at a company event on Tuesday. The phrase echoes the maxim "Arbeit Macht Frei" - meaning "work sets you free" - which was famously emblazoned in wrought-iron on the gates of the Auschwitz concentration camp. Ebit is a commonly used acronym for "earnings before interest and taxes". [link to www.bbc.com (secure)]  |
