Mohammad-Ali Ramin is an Iranian historian, presidential advisor to Mahmoud Ahmedinijad and newly appointed Iranian deputy minister of culture. Ramin is a prominent engineer of Iran's Holocaust denial rhetoric.
Ramin is the secretary general of the Tehran-based World Holocaust Studies, which seeks to "question" whether the Holocaust took place. He was a founder and leading organizer of the International Conference on Review of the Holocaust: Global Vision, which took place in 2006 in Iran and faced worldwide criticism as a forum for Holocaust deniers and an attempt to rewrite history.
Among his many anti-Semitic charges, Ramin has placed responsibility on the Jews for more global problems than any other community.
"But among the Jews there have always been those who killed God’s prophets and who opposed justice and righteousness. Throughout history, this religious group has inflicted the most damage on the human race, while some groups within it engaged in plotting against other nations and ethnic groups to cause cruelty, malice and wickedness."
Ramin has also claimed that Hitler was a Jew. Ramin has stated that "Adolf Hitler himself developed an aversion to Judaism because his mother was a Jewish whore." According to Ramin, Hitler was under Jewish influence throughout his political career, while his policies in Europe were aimed at establishing the state of Israel. Like his other charges, this accusation is baseless.
Historically, there are many accusations against the Jews. For example, it was said that they were the source for such deadly diseases as the plague and typhus. This is because the Jews are very filthy people. For a time people also said that they poisoned water wells belonging to Christians and thus killed them.
