An Israeli high school student was arrested and questioned by police for doing a Nazi salute during a school trip to Auschwitz, Israeli media reported on Sunday.
The teenager from Kiryat Bialik was on his school’s field trip to Poland when he did the gesture under the entrance sign to the camp.
He was questioned for two hours by Polish police and was fined approximately NIS 1,500 after security guards observed him performing the salute. The museum also captured the incident on its security cameras; the footage was handed over to the police.
Polish police charged him with promoting Nazism, local media reported. Performing a seig heil is illegal in Poland, and carries a potential sentence of up to two years in prison.
That’s €376.10, not nearly enough imo.
That’s a first time fee
And 410.57 American freedom eagles.
I would unironically love for the dollar to be discontinued and replaced with eagles.
an Eagle is a $10 coin. A $20ncoin is a double eagle.
Excellent. By the time Trump is done they’ll be fit for vending machine snacks.
A double eagle weighed in at almost an ounce of solid gold. The US dollar has really gone the way of the ruble.
its around $23000 here in Victoria, Australia
Only in one state of Australia, Victoria. Worth mentioning.
oh right, my mistake. i actually live in Victoria so i originally thought it was a federal law somehow.
Nah it’s all good - it’s confusing because federal-level hate crime and Anti-Nazi laws came in recently also (last month). Those are all mandatory minimum prison sentences though, no fines.
