Iran's "Holocaust Conference"

Iran is organizing a conference next week offering a platform to Holocaust deniers. Despite the anger the plan has caused, the world seems to be powerless to stop it. Iran's president has publicly called the Holocaust a myth.

The organizing of the conference has caused anger especially in Germany where Holocaust denial is a crime. Although some have argued that no debate should be held on the issue since in any case Iran's conference cannot be taken seriously, it is nevetheless distressing that nothing could be done to stop the event from happening.
