This was a slogan used at some Nazi concentration camps, to listeners who had to work at the weekend, a newspaper said.

Several listeners of the Munich-based Radio Gong 96.3 complained during the July 28 programme when the 39-year-old female freelance presenter made the remark, according to the BZ paper.
