Matthias Küntzel: Iran and the Holocaust
From the 1990s onward, Iran has gone further than any Arab country in hosting and officially endorsing Western Holocaust deniers who are shunned in their home countries. In 1998, President Mohammad Khatami grieved over the prosecution of “a thinker” like French Holocaust denier Roger Garaudy, and Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei even met Garaudy in person. In 2001, the Tehran Times among others called the findings of the Nuremberg trials about Auschwitz „the biggest lie in history“.[ Under Ahmadinejad, however, Iranian Holocaust denial has taken a substantive leap forward. Since 2006, he has developed a new style and added a new dimension to this abhorrent phenomenon that warrants further scrutiny. http://www.matthiaskuentzel.de/contents/iranian-holocaust-denial-and-the-internet
