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.

I've been tempted to give a Nazi solute when a police officer was trying to illegally force me to give ID when I hadn't done anything wrong and they knew it and didn't even claim to suspect me of a crime. It's an ironic or protest solute, but a photo of me doing it would look bad, which is why I haven't. Fuck authoritarianism.

Well, better a stupid teenager than a stupid adult. There is hope. Not much, but a little at least.
