I am not disputing that Persians helped rescue a Jewish family. However, I will strongly dispute Mr. Ahmadinejad who said that the holocaust needed to be "investigated" at a speech in September, because this implies that one of civilization's greatest tragedies never happened. I just find it strange that the theocracy in charge of the Iranian state-run media conveys these messages of tolerance, but speaks a much different tune. Thanks for your post, and I see from your blog that you are in Los Angeles. Great town! I lived there for 5 wonderful years.

The full video is on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOBLSmiSDFQ&feature=related.<BR/><BR/>Also, the series about the Iranians helping a Jewish family during the Holocaust is based on true events, where hundreds of Jews were rescued by Iranian officials who claimed they were part of a tribe indigenous to Iran. Also, it reflects the fact that there is little popular anti-Semitism in Iran, only anti-Zionism.
