Ahmadinejad's Holocaust Advisor Mohammad Ali Ramin: Holocaust Was Carried Out by the Ancient Jewish Rulers of Yemen

Following are excerpts from an interview with Mohammad 'Ali Ramin, Ahmadinejad's Holocaust advisor and secretary-general of the International Foundation for Holocaust Studies. The interview aired on Channel 2, Iran, on January 29, 2009.

Mohammad 'Ali Ramin: The word "Holocaust" means the mass burning of people. This word appears, in one form or another, in the Koran, where it says: "The owners of the pit were killed." According to this story, when a Jew became the ruler of Yemen, he used to burn groups of people.

Interviewer: So it was carried out by the Jews?

Mohammad 'Ali Ramin: Yes, it was. Following the second European war, the descendants [of this Yemenite king] made this claim against the defeated German regime. After the war was over, they claimed that six million Jews... At first, they didn't talk about six million, but about a large number. Gradually, when they realized that the time was ripe, they inflated the figure, until they reached six million. At the Nuremberg trials, the leaders of the USSR, the US, and England did not make such an allegation. The issue was never even addressed in these trials. But later, in order to establish Israel, they raised the claim that six million Jews suffocated in gas chambers and were burnt in crematoria. This claim was used to depict the so-called Jewish survivors as oppressed, and use this as a pretext to say: "We must be compensated for the oppression we suffered." Consequently, the English and the Americans gave the Jews the land of occupied Palestine, which they had at they disposal at the time. This is how they established the State of Israel.

[...]

In order to oppress the German people... England and the US did this in order to conceal what they did in Africa, in what is now the USA, and in many other countries. After all, the English perpetrated tens of millions of murders, and the Americans perpetrated many crimes in the world in the past century – for example, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and other horrifying crimes.

[...]

By making the claim that six million Jews were killed by the Germans in the Holocaust, they have gained such global power that they control the Western governments. If the American administration or the English government would want to deny [the Holocaust], they would not allow it. In other words, this is a vicious circle, and as long as this vicious circle is not broken, and as long as this myth is not openly studied, this situation will continue.
