The literal translation is "white makes". The full phrase "weiss macht frei" would make more sense, meaning "white makes free". That phrase is popular among White Supremacists, Neo-Nazis and Skinheads.

The words "Arbeit Macht Frei", meaning "work makes you free", were posted on several concentration camps in WWII Poland.

The German word 'weiss' can be translated as "white" or "knows".

When in relation to beer, it refers to a wheat beer.

Yes it doesn't make sense as a phrase in German, but I think the reason it's used by Neonazis is that they think it means "White Power", and they think it was a term used by the original Hitler fans in German in their rallies. (At least that's what one former skinhead told me.)
