Conviction is Slap in Face to Iranian Denial

TORONTO,
Feb. 15 /CNW/ – Friends of
Simon
Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust
Studies commends the Mannheim, Germany court that convicted Ernst Zundel of incitement and sentenced him to five years in prison.
“We applaud Germany for aggressively dealing with those who deny history’s most documented atrocity,” said Rabbi
Abraham Cooper, Associate Dean of the Simon
Wiesenthal Center. “The sentencing today of Ernst Zundel also represents a slap in the face to Iranian President
Ahmadinejad‘s hateful campaign of
Holocaust denial that unfortunately has generated too much support in the Arab and
Muslim world.”
Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for
Holocaust Studies is a Canadian human rights organization dedicated to fostering tolerance and understanding through community involvement, educational outreach and social action.
