Yad Vashem has launched a version of its Web site in Farsi to educate Iran about the Nazi slaughter of 6 million Jews. The site was unveiled this week to coincide with the UN’s annual Holocaust remembrance day.
Every year, nearly 20,000 people from Muslim countries, including Iran, visit the Yad Vashem Web site. Yad Vashem officals believe that making credible, comprehensive information about the Holocaust available to Persian speakers can contribute to the fight against Holocaust denial.

Good idea, but small chance that this will make a dent into the Iranian thought process.
Sayitlikeitis: It will not make a dent in (most of) the Iranian leadership, but it will make a dent in the Iranian populace, who are already fed up with Achmadi-Nejad’s behavior.
