Extract: An American tourist in Poland is facing the possibility of 10 years in jail after he admitted he tried to steal from the former Auschwitz death camp.
The man, 37, tried to take a metal part of the infamous railway tracks leading to the gatehouse of the Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp, according to police.
A police spokeswoman in the southern Polish town of Oswiecim told the Associated Press the man was charged with attempted theft of an item of cultural importance, which could attract a penalty of 10 years in jail.
The man admitted to his crime and has been released as he awaits the next steps, the spokeswoman said.
The memorial museum's security discovered the man was trying to remove the metal piece from the railways tracks and called police, museum spokesman Pawel Sawicki said.
