Moroccan wins Holocaust cartoon prize

Iran awarded the top prize in a Holocaust cartoon contest to a Moroccan artistfor his depiction of Israel's security wall with a picture of the Auschwitz concentration camp on it.

The organizers of the exhibit -- meant as a response to the Danish cartoons of Islam's Prophet Mohammed that enraged many Muslims -- awarded Abdollah Derkaoui $12,000 Wednesday for his work depicting an Israeli crane piling large cement blocks on Israel's security wall and gradually obscuring Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. A picture of Auschwitz appears on the wall.
