Iran's new hard-liner maps path - President-elect Ahmadinejad insists that Iran will not give up its nuclear program.

coderman: "The ultraconservative leader has vowed to spread Iran's oil money to the poor, end corruption, return to the roots of the 1979 Islamic revolution - and push Iran's nuclear-energy plans, which the US believes are a mask for a weapons program."

pleung: 5.2 and 5.8 million, roughly half of Europe's Jewish population
aminorex: I believe this claim depends upon the original numbers reported in the New York Times, April 1945, due to the claims of Rudolf Hoess, and subsequently used at Nuremberg, reporting 4 million deaths at Auschwitz. Since then, Franciszek Piper, director of the historical committee of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum, has made an evidence-based argument that the actual number of Jewish dead at Auschwitz due to all causes was approximatel
aminorex: y 960,000.
aminorex: Simple arithematic then dictates (assuming the accuracy of the non-Auschwitz statistics relied upon for the 5.2 number) that the actual Jewish noncombatant death toll during ww2 was on the order of 2.7 million
aminorex: The latter estimate is also supported by Walter Reich, former director of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C., in his September 8, 1998 article in the Washington Post.
aminorex: Unfortunately, liars of opposite stripes have so deeply buried the truth in bullshit, that I don't think we'll ever know.
aminorex: Yehuda Bauer's 1989 computation reported in the Sept 22 Jerusalem Post was 1.6 million for the whole period. "The larger figures have been dismissed for years, except that it hasn't reached the public yet."
aminorex: Jean-Claude Pressac's numbers, as of 1993, reported in , The Crematoria of Auschwitz: The Mass Murder's Machinery, was 775,000 to 800,000.
aminorex: For the 1994 edition, he had to revise that to 630,00 to 710,000.
pleung: here more from UN general http://www.unhchr.ch/tbs/doc.nsf/(Symbol)/18ba764d3ac4df65c1256d87002bcf49?Opendocument
aminorex: The International Tracing Service of the Red Cross has a complete set of registration documents. Estimates from those documents, consistent with the German death records at Auschwitz, provides an estimate of 135,000 to 140,000
aminorex: Yet, throughout the process of corrections to wartime propaganda, the "6 million" number remains incontrovertable, immutable, a holy relic requiring no factual or substantive ground, and questioning it publically WILL land you in prison in certain countries of the world.
pleung: Under the UN General, "The facts as submitted:" from the unhchr link, -- From the materials submitted to the Committee by the parties it transpires that, for instance, one of the author's articles posted on that site, entitled "Did Six Million Jews Really Die?", disputes that six million Jews were killed during the Holocaust.
