Aebeit macht frei means "Work makes you free" To the nazis this mean if you work then you wouldn't be killed and if you didnt work then you would be killed. They used this slogan as a way to force the prisoners in the camps to work hard or die. This has a pyschological effect on the prisoners in the camps because they were scared of being killed

The phrase was taken from Dachau, where it was on the gates. The first kommandant of Auschwitz had served in Dachau previously and thought that it was an appropriate motto.____The motto was used at all major Nazi concentration camps except Buchenwald. Before the Nazis came to power 'Arbeit macht frei' had been the slogan of the public works programme in the Weimar Republic but it is older than that, going back at least to the 1870s. Previously it had meant something like 'Work [employment] is the key to freedom [emancipation]' but obviously the SS used it as a sick joke.
