    Iran’s president has called the Holocaust a “myth” and said Israel should be “wiped off the map.” The country also hosted a conference questioning whether the Holocaust took place.

    The YouTube channel was announced Sunday to coincide with the U.N.’s upcoming annual Holocaust remembrance day.

    The chairman of the Yad Vashem memorial says he hopes the site will allow viewers to connect to the Holocaust on a personal level, separate from regional politics.

    Yad Vashem already has YouTube channels in English, Hebrew, Arabic, Russian and Spanish.

    The Jews of Iran are very sensetive towards Holocust and the tragic memory, but We are also very sensetive and hurt by the exploits of NEOZAIONISIM. This Goverment has abused many including the theft of sepharadim of Yeman childrean at birthstool and has made profit (known fact that has not been denied by the arch enemy of the Jews- the leftist).
