From the N.Y. Times:

Iran held a gathering that included Holocaust deniers, discredited scholars and white supremacists from around the world on Monday under the guise of a conference to “debate” the Nazi annihilation of six million Jews.

Among those representing the United States was the former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, whose prepared remarks, issued by the Iranian Foreign Ministry, said the gas chambers in which millions perished actually did not exist.

Bear in mind that 671,000 people in Louisiana voted for Duke when he ran for governor in 1991.

An accompanying exhibition also denied the Holocaust. ... Signs pointed to smiling prisoners freed at the end of the war with the label “truth.”
