A Republican lawmaker is coming under criticism for recording videos at the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland, including a segment filmed inside the Nazi gas chambers and crematorium. “This is why homeland security must be squared away, why our military must be invincible,” Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) declared as he stood in front of ovens used to cremate prisoners. The clip was posted online by NOLA.com. The Auschwitz‑Birkenau Memorial and State Museum wrote on Twitter that Higgins shouldn’t have used the scene of so many murders as a “stage.”
