1. Holocaust Survivors
Kisten Moonsamy ,   Durban South Africa   (06.05.13)
There are still honest and forgiving people in this evil world we live in. It's sad that one can be easily brainwashed by Influential leaders and people to believe in their ideology . All of us have a mind of our own and have the power within us to discern right from wrong.
2. Well, of course refugees that have fled...
Gunnar ,   Gothenburg, Sweden   (06.05.13)
...Iran do not agree with the regime. That is sort of WHY they escape. And to believe that all 80 million Iranians, let alone all 150 million ppl worldwide of Iranian origin, deny the Holocaust is just ignorant. What's the big news here????
3. Persians Meeting Survivors.
Son Of Cyrus ,   UK   (06.05.13)
Good work! Well done and thank you to the people who organized this trip. People of Persia are children of Cyrus the founder of the most advanced civilization in the world to date. Nothing like it. The Jewish Nation and Persian Nation have always been friends throughout history and have shared common standards of conduct. The Jews gave the world the 10 commandments and Persians the Holy Trinity (Zarathustra - Good Thoughts, Good Words & Good Deeds). Unfortunately with the arab armies conqure of Persia, the arabs forced Islam and hence what we have over there currently which is pure evil. However the Light of Ahura Mazda (Hashem) will guide both nations in the long run back to friendship and cooperation. More such educational encounters are needed.
4. its a puff piece Gunnar
courtney ,   usa   (06.05.13)
take it easy, not everything has to be "big news"... jeez... and it actually is worth writing since in 10 years nobody from the holocaust will be around to tell these first hand stories
5. Iranians
Ilia Lavochkin ,   TI   (06.06.13)
Iranians have good relationship with Jewish people. During WW2, Iranians help polish Jews to escape Nazis and immigrate to Israel. in middle east, Iranians have the biggest potential to have relationship with Israel but by both sides, this perspective is become blur. we should try to reconstruct this trust and ties to overcome our commun enemt: Salafism.
6. "Death to Israel", every morning...
Jonathan   (06.06.13)
Is even more crazy than peaceful nuclear bombs.
7. There are ignorant Iranians as well as ignorant Israelis.
Persian CAT   (06.06.13)
There is no excuse for these so-called Iranians, who LIVE in the West to be ignorant about the Holocaust! There are books in Farsi and many other languages about the Holocaust and there are many Iranian Jews who know and talk about the Holocaust. What has kept these people ignorant is themselves. I read my first book about the Holocaust in Farsi. These kind of dog and pony shows are just that.
8. #7 Persian Cat
Son Of Cyrus ,   UK   (06.06.13)
They are not ignorant people living in the West, they are young people who are receiving first hand history from old people who lived through it. The truly ignorant ones are the ones who willingly live under the Ayatollah's Regime.
9. #8 Son of Cyrus
Ruth Singer ,   Haifa, Israel   (07.03.13)
I don't think there are too many people "willingly" living under the Ayatollahs' regime. It's not so easy to escape. I met some of these young people while they were in Haifa and found them eager to learn everything they could about Israel. One isn't born knowing everything!
10.  "Death to Israel", every morning
A. Taylor ,   Pasadena US   (02.03.14)
What kind of a Nation has its children chant such a thing in the morning. Insanity. Madness.
