#1 I'm sorry, but this article does not offer a fair view of the situation. We may very well argue about official and non-official contacts the German government maintains with Iran, but Iran's Holocaust denial has always been strongly rejected by Germany.

Marcel Reich Ranicki's tale about his experience in the Warsaw ghetto was a very moving one and has left a deep impression.

Unfortunately the speech seems to be only available in German. (report in English)

MRR recalled how the Nazis in July 1942 informed members of the ghetto's Jewish Council (Judenrat) of plans for the inhabitants' "resettlement to the east".

He told lawmakers that those present "seemed to sense what had happened: that the sentence had been pronounced for the biggest Jewish city in Europe - the death sentence."

IThis was his last sentence and the Bundestag was quiet for half a minute before applause set in.
