    Wen Jiabao paid the visit to the Auschwitz memorial on Friday, following two days of political and business talks in Warsaw.

    At the memorial in southern Poland Wen walked through the camp’s main gate with the ironic “Arbeit Macht Frei” — German for “Work Sets You Free” — and laid flowers at the Death Wall where the Germans executed Polish resistance members.

    He said atrocities like those at Auschwitz oblige people to protect peace and dignity.

    Between 1940-45 some 1.5 million people, mostly Jews, died in Auschwitz gas chambers of from disease, hunger and forced labor.
