Iran has invited scholars from 30 countries to attend a conference starting on Monday about the Holocaust, in which six million Jews were killed by the Nazis.
"For 60 years talking about the Holocaust was a crime in the West but now there is a serious debate about the Holocaust in the media and also in political and popular meetings," state television quoted Ahmadinejad as saying.
The international symposium of "Study of Holocaust, Global Perspective" is to be held in Tehran from December 11-12
The Austrian rabbi and chief of the Orthodox Anti-Zionist society of Austria, Moshe Aryeh Friedman, will be there. (omg an anti-semitic rabbi :p )
The Austrian Rabbi also thanked Iran as the best venue for the conference on the Holocaust because it used to remain neutral during the World War II and was not involved in the event.
Friedman described Iran as a model country in dealing with and tolerating religious minorities.
I really hope the western media will cover this event..
