2 Canadian teachers detained for theft at Auschwitz

Anywhere else, old railway studs would be garbage.

True, but this isn't anywhere else. It's Auschwitz.

People continue to amaze me, who the fuck wants souvenirs of a death camp hanging aroung their house?

Although I don't think there was any malicious intent, being educators these two should have had a little more common sense when it came to the sanctity of the "souvenirs" they were taking.

Same kind of people that travel to visit one?

Dumb. They should definitely know better. And, i agree with freakinoldguy that there was likely no malicious intent, but still, some common sense should've been exercised.

The Canadian rep in Poland must be close to dirt, eh? First our cops are tasering that Polish guy to death at the Vancouver airport, now we're rifling through the debris at Auschwitz looking for souvenirs.

I hope the media cameras are on these guys when they land here. "Why did you feel you needed souvenirs of Auschwitz? Did it not not occur to you people might be sensitive about that sort of thing? What will your students think about this? Is this the way you'd like to see them behave?"

They probably didn't think about what they were doing.

I agree this would be a grizzly thing I certainly wouldn't have it in my house, yet if you were to sell them on ebay some sicko would spend a fortune.
