Iran as a refuge for Jews

There's 10 minutes of film here from an Iranian TV series engaging sympathy for Jews in Nazi-occupied Paris:

[The series], called "Zero Degree Turn," depicts the Iranian Embassy in Paris during World War II, when employees forged Iranian passports for European Jews to flee to Iran. The series is built around a love story between an Iranian-Palestinian man and a Jewish Frenchwoman he helps escape to Iran.

Scenes of terrified Jewish men, women and children being loaded into trucks by Nazis are arousing feelings of sympathy for Jews at a time when President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has denied the Holocaust.

According to the New York Times's reporter, the series also carries a subtle negative message but I'm in no position to judge the overall balance of things, as the clip linked to only shows the sympathetic aspect.
