fact is

communists were treated worse than the jews or other minorities by the nazis. this is documented for example in the 'Mauthausen' concentration camp that is now open to the public as a museum. i visited the camp in austria about 15 years ago. for example, the number of prisoners per cell was twice as high for communists as compared to jews. and they were made to work harder than the jews. it is all stated so very clearly on a number of different placards as you walk through various parts of the museum.

ahmadinejad has a point about WWII deaths. the jewish side of the story is the only one we hear. 

here is a link to a jewish web site's description of the Mauthausen concentration camp and it's horrific sotry. check it out. it describes the camp as 'category 3' type meaning: "This was the fiercest
category, and for the prisoners it meant "Rûckkehr unerwünscht" (return
not desired) and "Vernichtung durch arbeit" (extermination by work)".

but you keep searching and you will find that the word 'communist' is not even mentioned anywhere on the page! there is just a single reference to 'russian' prisoners.

and there is something very suspect about the way no local compensation was ever given to the jews. they were in fact encouraged to leave the region even after the war ended when it was their inalienable right to stay/return. germany and austria should have given a piece of their own land as compensation for jews. this is the least they could have done. instead they paid for jews to leave, and they still pay compensation to israel. 

ahmadinejad is coming out with various statements that seem so 'provoking' from the western point of view, but from the east's position, the questions he raised are apt and require answers.
