Moshe Friedman
Moshe Aryeh Friedman is a rabbi from New York.
In 2006, he participated in the controversial 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."[1] He believes 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.[2] His participation led the Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Israel, Yona Metzger, to call for Jews to shun Friedman and all members of Neturei Karta.[3] As a result of his participation, his children were expelled from the Talmud-Torah school they were attending in Austria where the family lived. [4]
After being banned from the Jewish community in Austria, [5][6] he moved to NY. [7] [8] [9]
In 2012, while living in Antwerp, he went to court and won a case that ordered a Jewish school for girls to admit his two sons or face heavy fines after no schools would admit his children.[10] [11] [12]
