Again an Exhibition in Iran: The “Fraudulent Myth” of the Holocaust

An exhibition of the subject of the Holocaust in the program of cultural events marking “The Establishment of the Zionist Entity” that took place in Qum (where most of the important religious centers are located),
was planned by the Iranian Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance.
The “works” of 230 artists from Iran and abroad are represented in the exhibition. Most of the items represent the Jews in an anti-Semitic manner as controlling the world and being the Western Trojan Horse, “a foreign body planted in the heart of the Moslem countries” and the United States of America as Israel’s puppet.

Hamid Rasai, the Advisor to the Minister of Islamic Guidance, said that behind the decision to put on the exhibition were cultural goals that the Ministry set itself to mark the ”Anniversary of the Establishment of the Zionist Regime”. The exhibition was opened symbolically on Israel’s day of Independence and continued until May 25, “The Declared Day of Victory of Hezbollah over the Zionist Regime”, the day of Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanon in May 2000.

The Minister’s Advisor said that the cartoon caricatures were especially blunt and each of them questioned the Holocaust or as the Iranian Minister defined it:”That Fraudulent Myth”. Hamid Rasai indicated that the exhibition was intended to be a mobile one that would be shown in other provinces and cities in Iran.
