Iran Govt makes up a 26 century past Iranian holocaust, blames it on Jews
2010-12-28
from the Guardian
Back in 1934, a persian fellow named Sadeq Hedayat did an article altering the narrative of the Book of Ester, essentially claiming it was an anti Iranian plot. The goal was to firm up the alliance with the Nazis and catalyze some anti Jewish massacres. It didn't work particularly well and people forgot about it until recent years.

The article has been rediscovered and reinvented by the Ahmanejad govt and is being spread around by his cronies and a few of the younger and more energetic thugs have threatened to destroy the tomb of Ester in Hamadan in a belated revenge action.
