Iran displays Holocaust cartoons
The drawings were chosen from entries in a competitionMore than 200 Holocaust cartoons from around the world are on display at a museum in the Iranian capital, Tehran.
Organisers of the exhibition say they are testing the West's commitment to freedom of speech.
A competition to choose the drawings was announced in February, in response caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad published by European newspapers.
Israel's Holocaust authority, Yad Vashem, criticised the exhibition, calling it a "flashing red light".
The drawings were chosen from nearly 1,200 entries received from various countries including the United States, Indonesia and Turkey.
One of the cartoons shows the Statue of Liberty holding a book on the Holocaust in one hand and giving a Nazi salute with the other.

Pero son estos valores los que me hacen decir publiquen lo que quieran, hace a;os que viene siendo asi... personaas civilizadas no salen por eso a prender fuego embajadas...
