View lectures given at recent symposium held at Yad Vashem: "Holocaust Denial: Paving the Way to Genocide”
Yad Vashem is following with increasing concern Iran’s continued Holocaust denial, and particularly its latest attempt to paint its extremist agenda with a scholarly brush. The Iranian government’s pseudo-academic conference, "Review of the Holocaust: Global Vision” is an effort to mainstream Holocaust denial and must be unequivocally rejected.
On Thursday, December 14, 2006, Yad Vashem held a symposium with the participation of the diplomatic corps: “Holocaust Denial: Paving the Way to Genocide”.
