Israel's Holocaust memorial, Yad Vashem, has launched a version of its Web site in Farsi to educate Israel's most bitter enemy, Iran, about the Nazi slaughter of 6 million Jews.

The site was unveiled to coincide with the U.N.'s annual Holocaust remembrance day on Saturday, officials said.

"Every year, nearly 20,000 people from Muslim countries, including Iran, visit the Yad Vashem Web site," said Avner Shalev, Yad Vashem's chairman. "We believe that making credible, comprehensive information about the Holocaust available to Persian speakers can contribute to the fight against Holocaust denial."

Yad Vashem's Farsi site includes 20 historical chapters, including dozens of photos, arranged chronologically, from the rise of the Nazis to power until the postwar trials of Nazi leaders. The site also includes a poem by Abramek Koplowicz, a Jewish boy murdered in Auschwitz at age 14.
