The U.S. president was to fly by helicopter to the Buchenwald concentration camp, where an estimated 56,000 people perished. Most were Jews, worked to death, shot or hanged by Nazi guards.
“Threatening Israel with destruction or repeating vile stereotypes about Jews is deeply wrong and only serves to evoke in the minds of the Israelis this most painful of memories while preventing the peace that the people of this region deserve,” Obama added.
It was a pointed message to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has expressed doubts that 6 million Jews died at the hands of the Nazis and who has urged that Israel be wiped from the map.
Obama’s comments came in his long-awaited speech to the Muslim world in which he sought a fresh start in America’s relations with the followers of Islam.

Iran isn’t looking for trouble. It is merely defending itself.
A family frnied, who has since passed, lost all of her family in the holocaust (Aushwitz) and emigrated to the US where she became a citizen, raised her children and felt somewhat safe from the horrors of the war.I believe (truly) that human nature is inherently good. Sadly, ignorance is good’s vilest enemy, and we must continue to encourage our society and the world’s society to study history so we do not make the error of repeating it. Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal. -Martin Luther King, Jr.
Hitler was not killing only jews, so there was NO holocaust of jews! Hitler was 1/4 jew, too. I hate to listen from jews about their holocaust over and over again, because it is the way they blackmail the world and by now they are still asking for compensations, which is rediculous! No 6 millions of jews died in the concentration camps, this is a lie. I agree witj Iranian president. 600 000, about. Just look how many jews are there in the USA!!!! Who most suffered by the war ? Russians!
