Holocartoons is an Iranian Holocaust denial website launched in August 2010.[1] The site, which opens to the Pink Panther theme song, aims to undermine the historic dimensions of the mass murder of Jews during World War II.[2][3] The site is based on a comic book written by Omid Mehdinejad and illustrated by Maziar Bijani.[4] In the preface it opens as following:
This book tends to denounce the conspicuous lie of the "planed [sic] murder of 6 million Jews during the Second World War" allegedly called "Holocaust".[5]
Reactions
On August 5, 2010, Yad Vashem, issued a statement calling the site "The latest salvo emanating from Iran that denies the facts of the Holocaust and attempts to influence those who are ignorant of history."[6]
