A number of prominent world historians and scholars supported the recent remarks of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Holocaust. The former social scientist, Serge Thion kicked out of his job for revisionism, declared his own and his colleagues approval of Ahmadinejad`s outlook and referred to his comments as logical, fair and courageous. ”I wish to assure you that French and international revisionist scholars will support entirely the Iranian President Ahmadinejad. They found his speeches remarkably accurate, his ideas very sound, and his proposals very rational and just. ”We find a great solace in the courageous behavior of the highest Iranian authorities,” added Thion. The Florida-based American author and critic of the policies of US administration, John Kaminski, appreciated President Ahmadinejad for what he said. ”As an American citizen, I feel ashamed of the approach of my country throughout the world, in particular towards Iran and Venezuela. I have to admit that we feel unsafe at home. ”Best wishes to the Iranian president. May we all have the courage to continue to speak the truth under any circumstances,” added Kaminski. Dana I. Alvi from a Polish- American committee said, ”I have personally experienced World War II in Warsaw, Poland. Certainly, the experiences of the Jews under the German occupation have now been propagandized. ”Certainly, they have suffered as most people in those times and places. The experience of the Jews (the Holocaust) has been just one part of the overall tragedy of the World War II. I believe that Poles suffered the greatest losses. Until now, Poles do not have any control over their own country.” An Australian-based analyst of Middle East issues, Mohammad Hejazi, called for a conference to be held in Tehran on the matter, to give the world top revisionists, who believe that Holocaust has been exaggerated, a chance to express their relevant opinions. A British Historian and Holocaust revisionist, David Irving, currently imprisoned and awaiting his trial in Austria on charges of denying holocaust, is one of the proponents of Ahmadinejad`s views on holocaust. Irving has so far been beaten by Jewish groups in Britain and all over the world. He has been banned from visiting the Commonwealth countries and once as he intended to enter Australia to meet a family member, a group of Jews pressurized the Australian government to prevent him from entering the country. The Canadian publisher of German origin and one of the most staunch Holocaust deniers, Ernst Zendel, who has been exiled from Canada after residing there for 40 years is another individual supporting the president`s approach. Zendel is now in prison in Germany waiting to stand trial on charge of questioning the assassination of six million Jews during the Holocaust. Another German holocaust denier, a former Reuters reporter and author of several books on holocaust, Michael Hofmann, considering himself as a historian and researcher of fundamental historical facts, expressed his support for Ahmadinejad`s outlook in an analysis appearing at his personal website. He termed the president`s remarks as sacred, given that many revisionists are currently imprisoned in Germany, France and Belgium for having spoken against Holocaust. The French researcher and holocaust critic, Henry Rock, declared his full support for the scientific remarks of President Ahmadinejad and called for further assessment of Holocaust and research on it. A group of other researchers referred to the comments of Iranian president on Holocaust as ”Christmas Message from a Courageous Muslim”. Meanwhile, a number of domestic figures and Iranian expatriate authors also expressed their support for freedom of expression in Iran and the president`s remarks on Holocaust.
