This phrase means "Work Will Set You Free". The expression comes from the title of a novel by German Lorenz Diefenbach titled "Arbeit macht frei" published in 1873.

The phrase was employed by Austrian born Germans in 1922, the Weimar Republic (Germany) in 1928, and it's use was continued when the Nazis came to power in Germany in 1933. The most famous use, or infamous use, was over doorways and entrances to concentration and labor camps.
