According to the Polish news agency PAP, she has been fined. The woman was allegedly caught red-handed by guards posing for a photo taken by her husband. “She stated that it was a bad joke,” a police spokesperson told PAP.

Nazi Germany built the extermination camp near the Polish city of Oświęcim during World War II. The site has become a symbol of Nazi Germany’s genocide of six million European Jews, one million of whom died in the camp between 1940 and 1945, along with more than 100,000 other victims.
