Are you making a supposed joke connected to the concentration camps in Nazi Germany ?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbeit_macht_frei
The slogan Arbeit macht frei was placed at the entrances to a number of Nazi concentration camps.
The slogan's use was implemented by SS officer Theodor Eicke at Dachau concentration camp[6] and then copied by Rudolf Höss at Auschwitz.

No, this Hoss :
Arrest, trial, and execution
In the last days of the war, Himmler advised Höss to disguise himself among Kriegsmarine personnel. He evaded arrest for nearly a year. When arrested on 11 March 1946 in Gottrupel (Germany), he was disguised as a gardener and called himself Franz Lang.[37]
His wife had revealed his whereabouts to protect her son, Klaus, who was being “badly beaten” by British soldiers.[38][39]
The British force that captured Höss included Hanns Alexander, a British captain originally from Berlin who was forced to flee to England with his entire family during the rise of Nazi Germany.[40] According to Alexander, Höss attempted to bite into a cyanide pill once he was discovered.[41]
Höss initially denied his identity "insisting he was a lowly gardener, but Alexander saw his wedding ring and ordered Höss to take it off, threatening to cut off his finger if he did not. Höss' name was inscribed inside.
The soldiers accompanying Alexander began to beat Höss with axe handles. After a few moments and a minor internal debate, Alexander pulled them off."[37][42]

Rudolf Franz Ferdinand Höss
(also Höß, Hoeß or Hoess; 25 November 1901 – 16 April 1947)[2][3] was a German Schutzstaffel (SS) functionary during the Nazi era who was later convicted as a war criminal.
He was the longest-serving commandant of Auschwitz concentration and extermination camp. He tested and implemented means to accelerate Hitler's plan to systematically exterminate the Jewish population of Nazi-occupied Europe, known as the Final Solution.
On the initiative of one of his subordinates, Karl Fritzsch, Höss introduced the pesticide Zyklon B, containing hydrogen cyanide, used in the gas chambers.[4][5]
Höss joined the Nazi Party in 1922 at the age of 21 and the SS in 1934. From 4 May 1940 to November 1943, and again from 8 May 1944 to 18 January 1945, he was in charge of Auschwitz, where more than a million people were killed before the defeat of Nazi Germany.[6]
Höss was hanged in 1947 following a trial before the Polish Supreme National Tribunal. During his imprisonment, at the request of the Polish authorities, he wrote his memoirs, released in English under the title Commandant of Auschwitz: The Autobiography of Rudolf Hoess.[7]

Right-wingers want to joke about it so that it diminishes it's perceived severity.
Life is not one big joke....or haven't you noticed ?
Jews and the NHS....both seem to believe they are beyond criticism
You might want to write into points of view. Allo Allo was being shown the other day.
You might want to try some more complex material sometime.
No offence to anyone who has had a bad life experience with a tailor
Criticism is fair game where it can be justified of any group, nation or individual.

Are you insulting the whole of Chit-Chat ? ... You think you are a cut above ?
Are you making a supposed joke connected to Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street?
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (also known simply as Sweeney Todd)[4] is a 2007 musical period slasher film directed by Tim Burton and an adaptation of Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's Tony Award-winning 1979 musical of the same name. The film re-tells the Victorian melodramatic tale of Sweeney Todd, an English barber and serial killer who murders his customers with a straight razor and, with the help of his accomplice, Mrs. Lovett, processes their corpses into meat pies. The film stars Johnny Depp as the title character and Helena Bonham Carter as Mrs. Lovett
I'm not trying to tell any jokes.

The murder of 6 million Jews is not a subject for levity....don't you agree?
Origin of " Cut above " has nothing to do with Sweeney Todd,

No....all this arose because of flushgordon1's inappropriate attempt at humour.
Right-wingers try to make lite of atrocities such as the Holocaust.
