International Holocaust Cartoon Contest was a cartoon competition sponsored by the Iranian newspaper "Hamshahri", to denounce what it called "Western hypocrisy on freedom of speech".
The event was staged in response to the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy, and to challenge Western accounts of the Holocaust.  
  A response letter was directed to the Israeli government by various Israeli academicians and artisans, criticizing the lax approach by the government to racial and religious incitement by rabbis and calling for the prosecution of the original letter's signatories for incitement to racism.
Among the signatories to the response letter were former politician Shulamit Aloni, author Yoram Kaniuk, sculptor Dani Karavan, politicians Zahava Gal-On and Naomi Hazan.
Holocaust survivors condemned the letter.
Noah Flug, the chairman of the International Association of Holocaust Survivors, stated that "As someone who suffered as a Jew and underwent the Holocaust, I remember the Nazis throwing Jews out of their apartments and city centres in order to create ghettos.
I remember how they wrote on benches that no Jews were allowed, and of course it was prohibited to sell or rent to Jews.
We thought that in our country this wouldn't happen."

Cargas was first introduced to the subject of the Holocaust when he read an excerpt from Elie Wiesel's biographical work "Night" in a magazine one evening.
For the rest of his life after that initial intellectual encounter, much of his scholarly work revolved around the Holocaust and the relations between Jews and Catholics.
His mission was to bring "historic truth to his Church" and to provoke Catholic leadership to acknowledge both its role in allowing the Holocaust to happen, as well as its inaction and silence during the war.
In particular, he was horrified by the idea that almost "every Jew killed in the Holocaust was murdered by a baptized Christian.
"In 1979, he developed a list of 16 proposals that would lay the foundation of proper relations between Jews and Christians.
These proposals included excommunicating Adolf Hitler, adding Jewish memorials to the Christian liturgical calendar, reexamining Christian theology and history in light of the Holocaust, moving Christian Sabbath to Saturday, and repenting for Christian sins against the Jewish people.
Cargas labeled himself a "post-Auschwitz Catholic" and cultivated a deep friendship and intellectual partnership with the writer and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel.
The two collaborated on several works, including "Conversations with Elie Wiesel", "Telling the Tale", "Voices from the Holocaust", and "A Christian Response to the Holocaust".
In 1980, President Jimmy Carter appointed Cargas as one of the original members of the U.S.
Holocaust Memorial Council, which laid the groundwork for the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.
He was also an executive councilman for the U.S.
Holocaust Council and the only Catholic ever appointed to the Advisory Committee for Yad Vashem, Israel's official memorial to Jewish victims of the Holocaust.
Shortly before his death in 1998, Cargas showed his continued dissatisfaction with the Catholic Church's response to its role in the Holocaust by rejecting Vatican statements on Jewish-Catholic reconciliation as simply camouflage.
In an essay in honor of Cargas after his death, Kurt Vonnegut wrote that Cargas, whom he referred to as "my buddy, Father Cargas," was "a person of historical importance for having taken into his very bones, as a Christian, the horrifying mystery of how persons could profess love of Jesus Christ, as did most Nazis, ... yet commit a crime as merciless as the extermination of Europe's Jews.
Every word he writes or speaks is somehow atonement."
