WIESENTHAL CENTER APPLAUDS PROPOSED UN RESOLUTION CONDEMNING HOLOCAUST DENIAL

The Simon Wiesenthal Center today commended the United States delegation to the United Nations for moving a resolution in the General Assembly that would condemn denial of the Holocaust or any reservation of it. The resolution comes in the wake of last Decembers Holocaust deniers’ conference in Iran.

“This resolution is particularly important to confront the extremists and to test whether moderate Muslim nations will finally come to terms with the unquestionable fact that millions perished in Hitler’s Final Solution,” said Rabbi Marvin Hier, founder and dean of the Wiesenthal Center.

The Simon Wiesenthal Center is one of the largest international Jewish human rights organizations with over 400,000 member families in the United States. It is an NGO at international agencies including the United Nations, UNESCO, the OSCE, and the Council of Europe.
