Tourists detained for stealing from Auschwitz
Polish police have questioned two Canadian teachers who allegedly stole parts from the Auschwitz-Birkenau train tracks.
The pair, both said to be men in their 20s, were detained after security guards found them in possession of spikes from the railway which carried Jews and other Nazi victims to the concentration camp.
They have been released and police have not said whether they will face charges. A Polish radio station reported that the men were looking for a memento of their visit.
Bartosz Bartyzel, a spokesperson for the Auschwitz museum, said guards handed the men over to the police.Click here to read the full story.
