WARSAW, Poland – An Israeli couple have confessed to stealing objects from the Auschwitz-Birkenau Nazi death camp memorial and have settled for a suspended prison term and a fine, officials said Saturday. The man, 60, and woman, 57, who were not identified, were detained Friday at Krakow airport on their way to Israel after border guards found a few old items, including knives, scissors, and spoons, inside a plastic bag in their luggage, memorial spokesman Bartosz Bartyzel said.
