Hogstrom, who is in custody in Sweden and awaiting extradition to Poland, reportedly acted as an agent for a British Nazi sympathizer who wanted the sign.</p> <p>Experts are working to restore the sign. It is not certain it will be returned to its place; a copy put at the front gate immediately after the theft remains there.</p> <p>Some 1.1 million people, including about 1 million Jews, were murdered at Auschwitz. — <em>jta</em></p>
