Abstract

The issues raised in this article concern the commission of the necessary features of two kinds of offence, memorial site desecration and the theft of goods of special cultural signifcance, as applicable to the commission of these offences on or with respect to the site of the Auschwitz-Birkenau former Nazi German concentration and death camp. Te article starts by considering the situations which eventually led to the discussed verdicts. However, special caution should be exercised in a determination of the necessary features of an offence which the legislator has defined in an abstract way, particularly if the offence was committed on the site of Auschwitz.

Keywords:

memorial site desecration, monument, goods of special cultural signifcance.
