Keep Iran Out of Auschwitz!

The government of Iran wants to inspect the Nazi death camp in Auschwitz, Poland in order to determine whether the Holocaust really happened. Poland quickly refused, with Polish Foreign Minister Stefan Miller saying, "Under no circumstances should we permit this. This is beyond all imaginable norms that such a thing is discussed."

A February 24th editorial in Jewish Forward made this observation:

Iran is essentially arguing that, because the religious sensibilities of Muslims were trampled on by the publication of cartoons, the appropriate response is to challenge in the most offensive way possible the torture and murder of 6 million Jews. The notion falls somewhere between depravity and idiocy. It is hard to tell if officials in Tehran are bent on fomenting international tensions or just ignorant enough to think that they would be allowed to march onto hallowed ground and poke through the bones of the Nazi's victims.

Well said!
