Aussie submits first entry in Holocaust cartoon contest

Renowned Australian cartoonist Michael Leunig has submitted the first entry in a controversial contest for cartoons of the Holocaust launched in Iran today in a tit-for-tat move over the caricatures of the prophet Mohammed that have enraged Muslims worldwide.
"As a show of solidarity with the Muslim world, and an exercise in free speech, I would like to submit a cartoon to you on the theme of the Holocaust," Leunig was quoted as saying on Irancartoons.com, the website organising the competition with Iran's biggest selling newspaper Hamshahri, triggering outrage in the US and Germany in particular.
Hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has already prompted international anger by dismissing the systematic slaughter by the Nazis of mainland Europe's Jews as a "myth" used to justify the creation of Israel.
The first of the Melbourne-based Leunig's two cartoons on the website show a poor man with a Star of David on his back walking towards the Auschwitz death camp in 1945 with the words "Work Brings Freedom" over the entrance.
The second shows the same scene but depicting "Israel 2002" with the slogan "War Brings Peace" over the entrance and the same man walking towards it bearing a rifle.
"I have had some difficulty getting this work published in my own country, and I believe it would help highlight the hypocrisy of the West's attitude to free speech if you were to publish it," Leunig was quoted as saying.
Hamshahri, which is published by Tehran's conservative municipality, said the contest was officially launched today with the title, What is the limit on freedom of expression in the West?
Its graphics editor, Farid Mortazavi, said earlier this month the aim was to turn the tables on the assertion that newspapers can print offensive material in the name of freedom of expression.
Anger over cartoons of the prophet Mohammed, first published in Denmark in September, has boiled over into violent demonstrations across much of the Muslim world.
"Freedom of expression has always been a pretext for Westerners... to insult the beliefs of Muslims," Hamshahri charged in its advertisement for the contest.
"This assault is taking place while criticising many issues such as the crimes of the United States and Israel as well as historical events like the Holocaust are seen as an unforgivable crime all over the West."
Iran's fiercely anti-Israeli regime is supportive of so-called Holocaust revisionist historians, who maintain the systematic slaughter by the Nazis of mainland Europe's Jews as well as other groups during World War II has been either invented or exaggerated.
The newspaper said the contest was open until May 5. It did not announce what the prize would be but said each artist would receive a book of the cartoons submitted.
