Founder of Holocaust museum in Nazareth invited to Tehran

By Yoav Stern and Amiram Barkat, Haaretz Correspondents

The founder of a private Holocaust museum in Nazareth has been invited to address a Holocaust study conference to take place next month in Iran.

Nazareth resident Khaled Ksab Mahamid is waiting for permission from the Foreign Ministry and final authorization from Tehran to attend the conference.

Mahamid told Haaretz he intends to tell the conference that the Holocaust did happen and that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's position of Holocaust denial is wrong.

Does not exactly sound like a progressive conference. I hope they will include plenty of people who argue that the holocaust happened rather than that it did not happen. There are pro-Palestinian Jews like the late secular Dr. Israel Shahak and Professor Finkelstein have had parents who survived the holocaust and these kinds of conferences dishonour them and all of humanity, if there is no attempt at balance. If the conference is for saying the shoah did not exist, then they will encourage people to think that many people in Iran are very narrow minded. Anyway, plenty of intellectuals Iran believe it happened, and I am wondering if they are invited to this conference or not.
