Answer from MaryAnn

I don't know about the entire Middle East, but the president of Iran (who is Persian) thinks it is a fable. It feeds into his antagonism about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. He made an interesting comment while in New York. He recognizes the fact that Jews have existed for centuries but doesn't recognize what he calls "the Zionists" in Israel today, that they don't belong there. He fails to recognize that the majority of them migrated there because of the Holocaust.

That it didn't happen. That General Eisenhower insisted that hundreds and hundreds of photographs be taken of at each death camp preserved the awful scenes for posterity means nothing to people who deny that the Holocaust occurred. What is historical fact is meaningless to people whose hatred of the Jews blinds them to fact. "The roots of Islamic extremism lie in Adolf Hitler’s call to the Arab world to destroy Jews
during World War Two, a new book has argued.  'Your only hope for rescue is the destruction of the Jews, before they destroy you!' the Nazi leader declared in a 1942 radio broadcast. It was one of 6,000 broadcasts the Nazis directed at the Arabs as their death camps were killing Jews by the hundreds of thousands in Europe. ‘Nazi Propaganda for the Arab World,’ by American scholar Jeffrey Herf, shows how Hitler and his aides relied on radio broadcasts to sew propaganda because most of the Arab world was
illiterate at the time."

As indicated, most people recognize that the Arab world staunchly maintains that the Holocaust never exited. They may not be aware of what Isaiah says about such situations,  however, in 5:20-22: “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.” In denying an obvious reality, the Arab world certainly puts “darkness for light.” As a result, we need to make sure that we continue to pray according to Ps. 122:6 - - and pray for the peace of Jerusalem.  Corrie Ten Boom and her family did, for over a hundred years. Then, when WW II came, they did far more.
