Israeli school kids thrown out of Poland after they are caught dancing NAKED at Nazi death camp in Poland
The teens were caught by security cameras 'dancing naked' at the site of the former concentration camp, it's reported
TWO Israeli students have been sent home from a school trip to a Nazi death camp in Poland after they were caught dancing naked at the site, it has emerged.
The pair sparked outrage after security guards at Majdanek, where tens of thousands of Jews were murdered during the Holocaust, spotted them on CCTV.
According to Israeli newspaper , the two students from the northern province of Emek Hamayanot were flown home on Sunday following the incident at the site near Lublin, eastern Poland on Friday.
The Israeli Education Ministry told the paper it "views with great severity any behaviour that could harm the status and values represented by the trips to Poland.
"In the case in question, due to the students' improper and inappropriate behaviour, disciplinary actions have been taken against them to the fullest."
A police spokesman in eastern Poland said an Israeli teen has admitted to dropping his pants at the former Nazi death camp and is facing a fine.
What happened at Majdanek death camp
Majdanek concentration camp was built and operated by the SS on the outskirts of Lublin during the German occupation of Poland in World War II.
During its operation from October 1941 until July 1944, it's estimated 80,000 of Majdanek's 150,000 inmates were killed, who were mostly Jews, but also included Poles, Belarusians, Ukrainians and Russians.
Prisoners at the camp were murdered by drowning in sewage pits, hangings, beatings, phenol injections, death by firing squads or in gas chambers.
According to the official museum, prisoners in the final stages of extreme emaciation or terminal stages of diseases were sent to special barracks known as Gammelblocks.
There, deprived of food or any medical assistance, they were condemned to slow agony and death and anyone still alive after several days inside would be taken to the gas chambers together with Jews deemed unfit for work.
Initially, bodies of the victims were buried in mass graves and later cremated at the crematorium.
The ashes, mixed with soil and waste, would be later used as fertilizer. After the camp’s liquidation, investigators uncovered 1,300 m³ of compost containing human remains.
Andrzej Fijolek said an unnamed 17-year-old was caught on CCTV cameras as he let down his pants by one of the wooden barracks at the Majdanek museum.
Museum wardens notified the police and the teen confessed to the act during questioning.
It's the second teen received a warning.
Majdanek has seen several high-profile incidents of theft and desecration.
In 2014, officials said eight shoes of former prisoners were stolen from the museum which holds a total of 280,000 shoes belonging to victims of the camp, with several thousand on display.
In 2013, a prisoner’s cap stolen from the museum two decades previously was in the United States where it was valued at $1,750.
In 2015, footage from Stutthof concentration camp near Gdansk sparked anger after it showed a group of naked people playing tag in a death chamber.
