Tehran Conference on Holocaust Starts Work
The two-day conference organized by the Foreign Ministry's Institute for Political and International Studies (IPIS) has drawn 67 foreign researchers from 30 world countries.
'The Holocaust, Modern Outlooks', 'The Holocaust, Statistical Figures and Realities', 'The Holocaust, Historical Documents', 'Nazism, The Holocaust and Zionism', 'The Holocaust, Effects and Consequences' and 'The Holocaust, Global Vision' comprise the main topics to be discussed by participants in 6 consequent sessions with full respect for Judaism and away from any kind of political tendency or propaganda.
The conference is also attended by chief rabbis from different world countries, including the US.
The anti-Zionist Jews Organization Neturei Karta is also represented in the conference by a delegation of rabbis, including its world spokesman Rabbi Yisroel David Weiss.
In recent years, Neturei Karta members have taken several trips to Iran and got acquainted with Iran's ideas about Jews and the conditions of the Jewish community in Iran.
They have also met with the Iranian President in New York, where Ahmadinejad underlined Iran's full respect for the Jews and Judaism and strong opposition to Zionism.
Neturei Karta and similar movements have been formed by mainly orthodox Jews to inform the world of the fact that Zionism and Judaism are two separate notions in direct opposition.
Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Seyed Mohammad Ali Hosseini Sunday said that the two-day confab in Tehran has a scientific and research nature.
The conference has caused, at times, hot reactions by some western countries, including the US and Germany.
