Moshe Aryeh Friedman is a haredi rabbi[1] who spoke at the International Conference to Review the Global Vision of the Holocaust. The organized Jewish community excommunicated him from the Jewish community. [2]
History
In 2006, Friedman participated in the International Conference to Review the Global Vision of the Holocaust, with his position that "I am not a denier of the Holocaust, but I think it is legitimate to cast doubt on some statistics."[3] He says that the figure of 6 million deaths during The Holocaust is from a prophecy made before World War II; and that the actual figure is closer to one million deaths.[4] His children were expelled from the Talmud Torah school they were attending in Austria, where the family lived.[5] He says it was because of his participation in the Holocaust conference; the school says its fees were not paid.[1]
After being banned from the Jewish community in Austria,[6][7] he moved to New York City.[8][9][10]
Because no schools in Antwerp, where he moved in 2011, would admit his children, he went to court and in 2012 won a case that ordered a Jewish school for girls to admit his two sons or face heavy fines.[9][10][11]
