Holocaust Archive


Iranian (millenarian) President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is known for questioning the Holocaust while wishing to create another.

How timely is this year's opening of a previously secret archive of information about Holocaust survivors. The archive is in the German town of Bad Arolsen, containing 50 million documents in 16 miles of archive shelving about 17 million victims.

CBS' 60 Minutes put together this video report whereby three Holocaust victims joined the journalist Scott Pelley to see their own records.

Now those UN sanctions are in place that target Iranian officials (and have them sheikhing in their boots), maybe the only travel allowed should be to this archive.
