AUSCHWITZ. Kuriozalna decyzja oświęcimskiej prokuratury


Prokuratura Rejonowa w Oświęcimiu umorzyła śledztwo w sprawie przywłaszczenia elementów historycznych torów kolejowych byłego obozu Birkenau. W związku z tą kuriozalną dla Państwowego Muzeum Auschwitz-Birkenau decyzją, wystosowano oświadczenie, które publikujemy.

Decyzja ta jest o tyle niezrozumiała, że daje zielone światło i swoistego rodzaju przyzwolenie na podobne czyny. Pozwala ciekawskim turystom na rabunek świadectw historii w Miejscu Pamięci, co jest niedopuszczalne.
