Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad has repeatedly denied that the Holocaust, the Nazis' killing of 6 million Jews during World War Two, took place. He has also called for Israel to be "wiped off the map."
More than 1.5 million people, mostly Jews, died at Auschwitz-Birkenau, a death camp set up by Nazi Germany in occupied Poland.

The ignorance of these people is truly incredible. It's hilarious and tragic at the same time when he says that it would take 15 years to incinerate
6 million people as if that were the number of people that were killed in the Holocaust. Actually, it was about 6 million JEWS that were killed in the death camps.
The total number of human beings (gypsies, slavs, enemies of the state etc...) that died in camps like Auschwitz, Dachau, Sobibor, Bergen-Belsen and others is closer to 11 million. The whole assortment of gas chambers, usually disguised as shower rooms, and the cremetories used to dispose of the bodies that the Nazi regime used in camps throughout Eastern Europe were capable of killing and burning 60,000 people
PER DAY. Had the Red Army not been victorious, there probably would not be a single Jew living in Europe today, and that would've been accomplished well before the "necessary" 15 years were up.
