Satmars denounce Jewish Shoah conference attendies

Six Jews who attended a Holocaust denial conference in Iran have come under intense criticism over the visit, with one of the world's largest Hasidic groups denouncing them as "reckless outcasts."

The Jews who went to Iran "trampled on the memory of their ancestors and people. They embraced the disciplines and followers of their murderers," said a statement from the Satmar leaders of Congregation
Yetev Lev in Brooklyn.

The Jews who attended the conference are often confused with the Satmars, who also are anti-Zionist but acknowledge that 6 million Jews died in the Holocaust.

The Satmars say there is no connection between them and Neturei Karta, a group that sent a half-dozen delegates to this week's conference in Teheran under the banner Jews United Against Zionism.
