The evidence of this crime, and the horrible magnitude of this
killing, is irrefutable. From sources as varied as Nazi war records,
film documentation, and most importantly, testimony of survivors and

revisionism and Holocaust denial, this time emerging not from European
anti-Semites, but from none other than the president of Iran.
This head
of state has taken the unprecedented act of hosting an international
conference of anti-Semites, Holocaust deniers, and even white racists
like former Klan leader David Duke, to gather in Tehran to deny the
magnitude, if not the very existence, of this barbaric act. As a Muslim of African descent in the United States, whose ancestors were victimized by the enormous crime of slavery, I object. And I believe that all Muslims, like other human beings who value compassion and truth, must vigorously object to this gathering as well.
