Concentration camps and Nazi language: Berlin guards caught on tape speaking unbelievably cruel about refugees

'In two years, there will be a revolution here and there will be no more of all this s***. We'll clean it all out.'

Videos have been released showing Berlin guards around the office for refugees using "Nazi language" and suggesting the refugees be sent to concentration camps.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Security guards working for private contractor Gegenbauer Security Services were stationed at the main government office for refugees in Berlin and have been recorded making inhumane comments, with one guard saying he was getting "swastikas in my eyes."

The guard, who is not identified, was recorded saying, "We have plenty of summer camps, and I swear to you they can be used again. On the gate: work makes you free."

The saying, which is German is "Arbeit macht frei," is infamously written above each entrance of the concentration camp Auschwitz, as well as other extermination camps in Germany.

The comments did not end there. The guard also made the shockingly cruel statement, "In two years, there will be a revolution here and there will be no more of this s***. We'll clean it all out."

Newspaper Bild released the videos and claims the guard works at Berlin's State Office for Health and Social Affairs, known as LaGeSe, and is the main center for refugees in that city.

In another film, the same guard appears again and can be clearly heard talking about holding refugees in transit zones at the border as their applications are processed. 

"We call them transit zones. That's a beautiful word. In the Third Reich, they called them prison camps."

The quality of each recording suggests they were made with a phone and feature the guard speaking to another guard in a control room with surveillance screens in the background.

Mario Czaja, the minister leading the refugee policy for the Berlin state government, told Bild, "There is no justification for this. We expect anyone who works in public offices to share our democratic values and respect the constitution."

Gegenbauer Security Services said it would "immediately" investigate the problem and would share its findings with the Berlin state government.

Unfortunately, this is not the first instance of guards involved in refugee-related controversy. Last month, another guard was filmed kicking and beating refugees who were protesting the ongoing delays in the processing of their applications.
