Iranian websites says evidence for Holocaust is fraudulent

In advance of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, on January 27, several Iranian websites published articles denying the Holocaust.

The website of the Iranian "Adolf Hitler Research Society" (http://ns.gigfa.com/) recently posted an undated article titled "A Reassessment of the Holocaust," claiming that photos documenting the Holocaust were doctored and forged by the Jews.

Also, on January 26, the Iranian semi-official news agency Mehr published the first in a series of articles by French Holocaust denier Robert Faurisson, titled "Holocaust: The Historic Fraud."

The article on the website of the Iranian "Adolf Hitler Research Society" (http://ns.gigfa.com/) stated that Israel and the West are disseminating lies and forgeries regarding World War II and the Nazis' extermination of Jews. To prove its assertions, the website presents what it claims are doctored photographs, accompanied by detailed explanations.

The society's main website contains various pages devoted to Nazism, Hitler's life, the history of the Third Reich, and other topics. It also links to the society's other websites, including a news website (/www.hitlernews.com) and an online bookstore (www.hitlertruth.com); the latter claims that it is against racism and is historical, not political, in nature.

The article begins by criticizing the West for commemorating the Holocaust every January 27 with International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Stating that such a practice has no precedent, and that no other historical event is commemorated in such a way, it goes on to accuse the West of bowing to Zionist pressure and propaganda by banning any attempt to question the accepted narrative of the Holocaust.

As a result of this ban, it said, anyone doing so is fired from government positions, arrested, prosecuted, fined, or even assassinated. The article adds that unlike the West, the Islamic world has thoroughly and objectively researched the Holocaust, far from Zionist influence, and that this research has turned up ample evidence that the Holocaust is a fraud. The article goes on to question Western accounts of the Holocaust, particularly regarding the existence of gas chambers and concentration camps.

Faurisson's article on the Mehr website claimed that the fact of the falsity of the Holocaust is gradually becoming clearer across the world, including among Jewish circles. Even Zionist representatives, Faurisson said, were emerging from the myths of the Holocaust and of "Greater Israel" – and that these myths, which he claimed were one and the same, would soon be "thrown into the dustbin of history." He said that that the Jews are using the myth of the Holocaust to extort Germany so powerfully that a single German official expressing doubts regarding it could cause the collapse of Germany as a state.
