In response to the Holocaust Denial Conference organized by the Government of Iran in December, today the United State's and 72 co-sponsors introduced a draft resolution in the United Nations General Assembly that "condemns without any reservation any denial of the Holocaust". The resolution recognizes that remembrance of the Holocaust is critical to preventing further acts of genocide, and that
ignoring the historical fact of these terrible events increases the risk they will be repeated.

The United State's is urging additional countries to co-sponsor the resolution, which is expected to come to a vote on Friday.

We wonder how the UN, founded largely as a result of the Holocaust will vote. How any UN member can vote against such a motion is a mystery... if more than a couple do it will show that the UN needs a serrious re-think.
