Germany condemns as ‘shocking’ Holocaust conference in Tehran

THE German Government yesterday condemned a planned Iranian conference on the Holocaust, calling attempts to question the Nazis’ murder of Jews “shocking and unacceptable”.

The conference, scheduled for tomorrow and Monday, was organised by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has called the systematic killing of some six million Jews a “myth” and “exaggerated”.

Some 67 foreign researchers from 30 countries are scheduled to attend the two-day meeting.
