Iran takes Holocaust exhibition on tour http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2007\01\04\story_4-1-2007_pg4_21
TEHRAN: Iran is taking a controversial exhibition of cartoons about the Holocaust that sparked international condemnation on a tour of its provinces, media reported on Tuesday.
Iranians in six provinces outside of Tehran will be able to see the exhibition, which opened in the capital in August, from January 9-13. The provinces will include populous Isfahan, East Azerbaijan and Markazi. The idea for the Holocaust cartoon exhibition originated in February 2006 in a reaction to the re-publication of Danish caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed, which occurred in 2005 in a number of mainly European newspapers.
