Hanover, Germany - On a visit to Iran, former German chancellor Gerhard Schroeder was set to criticize Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s denial that the Holocaust happened, a German newspaper said Friday. In a speech prepared for delivery to the Iranian Chamber of Industry and Commerce in Teheran, Schroeder said, “The Holocaust is a historical fact. It makes no sense to deny this unique crime which Hitler’s Germany was responsible for.”
