in December 2006, Ramin organised the International Conference to Review the Global Vision of the Holocaust which took place in Tehran. Prominent attendees included far right political activist Dr.David Duke, revisionist historical scholar Robert Faurisson and Haredi Rabbi and anti-zionist activist Yisroel Dovid Weiss among others.
