Holocaust denial is the false assertion that the Nazis did not attempt to exterminate the Jews during World War II. One of its main purposes is to discredit the existence of the nation of [[Israel]. Questioning the historicity of the Holocaust is gravely offensive to Jews [1], and is patently anti-Semitic in nature.
Recently, Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has made many public statements condemning Israel and Jews in general, has questioned the existence of the Holocaust and hosted a conference designed to cast doubt on the idea of its historicity. [2]
