Those who acquainted with history suffer frequent deja vu.

History is more than an interest of mine.
Neville Chamberlain, AN & BHO aside, Iranians have never known Iran as “Persia”. Iran, to Iranians, has always been called & known as Iran (or its variations, centuries before islamic invasion, as e.g. Ariyana, or Eraan-Shahr) centuries before Hitler came along.
The concept & reality of German “Aryan” is/was very different to that of Iran-related “Aryan”.
Notably, unlike what Hitler was preaching for his “Aryan Race”, not many Iranians have blue eyes & blond hair, for starters.
Equally, there are no historical accounts of Iranians (or Persians for that matter), killing Jews in Iran or sending them to a concentration camps during WWII.
If anything, Iran, during WWII, was politically neutral, and did much to protect Jews, at least Iranian Jews, by providing them Iranian passports which didn’t specify religion in them.
I can understand if your pic is politically aimed at Obama, Hitler, Chamberlain & Ahmadi-Nejad.
But the specific statement about “Persia” changing its name “for Hitler” is misleading. In fact it is doing Ahmadi-Nejad & his islamic minions a favor.

You might like to acquaint yourself with this forgotten bit of history - many of them were Polish Jews, who were persecuted by both Nazis & the Soviets: http://www.cais-soas.com/CAIS/Personal_Names/polish_name_dariusz.htm
