The most offensive Holocaust-denier

Jacqueline Saper  "On Thursday, April 11, 2018, millions of people solemnly observed Yom Ha Shoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day, or Day of the Inferno in Hebrew).  Yet many people still deny the existence of this most terrible of tragedies.

"It is important to acknowledge that Holocaust denial is a cause embraced not just by fringe ideologues.  Holocaust-deniers exist in all shapes and sizes throughout the world.  Most egregiously, certain foreign governments affirmatively support this denial.

"For me, international holocaust denial is personal, since one of the most widely reported deniers is my homeland: Iran.  Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the former president of Iran, has called the Holocaust a "lie and a mythical claim."  Ayatollah Khamenei has said, "No one in European countries dares to speak about the Holocaust[.] ... [It] is not clear whether the core of this matter is a reality or not.  Even if it is a reality, it is not clear how it happened."  An Iranian newspaper holds an annual Holocaust (Denial) Cartoon contest. * The cartoonist who best mocks the Nazi genocide is awarded $50,000.

"Such rhetoric has presented a negative image of Iran and Iranians around the world.  But before the founding of the Islamic Republic of Iran in 1979, there was another Iran.  This Iran not only acknowledged the holocaust, but even assisted Jews during World War II." . . .
