The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and IranWire.com, in cooperation with the Arsolen Archives, the world’s largest repository of information on Holocaust victims and survivors, have unveiled the latest installment of its Sardari Project. This groundbreaking initiative sheds light on Iranian victims of Nazi persecution, marking a significant stride forward in Holocaust education and remembrance. This initiative resonates deeply within Beverly Hills, a community enriched by its vibrant Iranian American population.
The Sardari Project aims to uncover and share narratives of Iranian victims of the Holocaust. Historically, Iran has denied the Holocaust and has propagated antisemitic rhetoric among its populace. By revealing these untold stories of Iranian victims, the project illuminates the diverse backgrounds that were affected by the regime, addressing a truth that many Iranians feel has been dismissed, or even denied.
