Germany Counters Iran's Anti-Holocaust Sessions

After World War II, Germany took on a special responsibility not only to remember the Holocaust, but to counter those who question its scope. This is, in large part, the "official history" that Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says the world is not free to question.
