In a clear reference to Iran, he added, "There is  a connection between despotism and terrorism, between freedom and peace. …  Military barbarism knows no limits. We must prevent the spread of these armies  on time so that humanity can be saved." 
Iranian President Mahmoud  Ahmadinejad has stated several times that the State of Israel should be“ wiped  out” and is advancing Iran’s nuclear program, which Israel and much of the  Western world fears will enable the Islamic Republic to build a nuclear warhead  to be aimed at Israel.
Ahmadinejad also is a leader in the movement to  deny that the Nazi regime butchered six million Jews.
In a ceremony at  the newsroom of the Berlin newspaper Bild, where the Prime Minister received the  blueprints to be turned over to the Yad VaShem memorial museum, he added, “World  leaders must act in time to avoid the fate of the Holocaust victims. We cannot  allow those who are looking to cause mass death and threaten the Jewish State.”  
The Bild newspaper was among those who purchased the blueprints  and published their existence after an unidentified person found them last year  in a Berlin apartment.
Yad VaShem chairman Avner Shalev and director of  its archives, Chaim Gertner, were present at ceremony where the Bild publisher  handed the documents to the prime minister.
The blueprints will be  displayed at Yad VaShem in January 2010, marking 65 years since the liberation  of Auschwitz. “As original plans detailing the construction of Auschwitz, where  some one million Jews were murdered, these documents have great historical  significance,” Shalev remarked. “They constitute concrete illustrations of the  Germans’ systematic effort to carry out the ‘Final Solution’”, Shalev added,  stating that the documents would be made available to researchers for years to  come. The documents will be added to Yad VaShem’s archives, which currently  holds over 125 million pages of Holocaust records.
The architectural  plans, drawn on a 1:100 scale, show the addition of a gas chamber and  crematorium, and a plan for a building to contain the corpses of the murdered  Jews.
More than a million Jews and others deemed “sub-humans” by the Nazi  regime were murdered at the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camps during the  Holocaust.
Netanyahu is expected later in the day to visit the villa on  the Wannsee Lake outside of Berlin, where Nazis adopted in January 1942 the  “Final Solution to the Jewish Problem,” Germany’s plans for the extermination of  Jews throughout the world.
The prime minister is culminating his visit  with European leaders on Thursday, where he discussed Israel’s position on  construction within Judea and Samaria and its delicate security situation, which  he said could not be compromised in a final peace agreement with the Palestinian  Authority.
