Iranians Take Science to deny Holocaust
An article published by an Iranian satellite channel Press TV on its Web site says, the massacre of Jewish people during the Holocaust was “scientifically impossible”. Iranian government setup the Press TV, an English-language 24-hour news channel. Nicholas Kollerstrom, who wrote this article, had his fellowship terminated by University College London last month after he said there were never any gas chambers at Auschwitz. According to Adolf Eichmann, a senior SS official about 6 million Jewish people were killed by Nazis, 50% of them in gas chambers.
Woman who helped 2,500 Jewish children escape death camp died.
Mrs Irena Sendler who worked as a social worker in a welfare department during World War II,masterminded the risky rescue operations of Jewish children from the Warsaw Ghetto. She kept the names of the all 2 500 children in hopes of one day uniting them with their parents. She was once arrested by Nazis but Zegota, an underground organization helping Jews, paid a bribe to German guards to free her from the prison. She died at a Warsaw hospital after she had been in hospital for a month with pneumonia.
