On May 29, 2000, after the conclusion of our Thirteenth International Revisionist Conference, I had, on his request, a conversation with Charles Provan on the subject of his forty-page text: “A Study of the Holes”. Our exchange was recorded on tape by his friend John Sack. I then asked Ch. Provan to make a…
If there existed, as is said, a system of justice equal for all, then Valérie Igounet and the director of the publishing house Les éditions du Seuil would find themselves seated together on the hard bench reserved for defendants in the 17th chamber of the Paris correctional court.[1] And as will be seen further on, Jean-Claude…
Although he himself has never undertaken research into “the Holocaust” of the Jews, the British historian David Irving is subject, intermittently, to promising bursts of revisionism. In 1988, at the second trial of Ernst Zündel in Toronto, he affirmed his high esteem for the “Leuchter Report“, the study which concluded that the existence of homicidal…
If my Australian friend Fredrick Toben is in jail in Germany it is for three reasons – factors for which I share responsibility. First, he became a convinced revisionist essentially by reading my own historical material, of which he has published several articles and essays in translation in his country. Second, after visiting me for…
Noël Mamère, a Green MP, finds himself steadily rebuked, on radio as on television, for his acquaintance with another Green, Jean-Gabriel Cohn-Bendit, the elder brother of “Danny the Red”. He is censured for “Gaby” Cohn-Bendit’s compromising relations, twenty years ago, with revisionists such as Pierre Guillaume, head of La Vieille Taupe (“The Old Mole”), Serge…
Jean Plantin, thirty-four years of age, unemployed and residing near Lyon, publishes the review Akribeia (a Greek word meaning “exactitude”). This review bears the subheading Histoire, rumeurs, légendes, and appears twice yearly. It is not revisionist but it has the merit of examining with equal impartiality both exterminationist and revisionist publications, as well as quite diverse studies dealing…
A French editor and publisher has recently been held in police custody, in revolting conditions, for 27 hours on suspicion of historical revisionism. This outrage took place in Lyon; the victim’s name is Jean Plantin. In charge of the review Akribeia, subtitled Histoire, rumeurs, légendes, J. Plantin is known for his exceptional learning and for the seriousness…
R. Hilberg began his work in 1948 (“My work began in 1948”, 1st edition, p. vi). He published it in 1961. In 1985 he published the “revised and definitive edition”. In January 1985, at the Zündel trial in Toronto, he had to admit that he had not visited a single German concentration camp (except Auschwitz…
Nearly half a century on, a rereading of the preface which Albert Paraz wrote in 1950 for Paul Rassinier’s Le Mensonge d’Ulysse (“The Lie of Ulysses”) strikes us by the daring of the author’s reasoning and the freedom of his tone. In today’s France there is no longer any place for either of those qualities. The Pleven…
In Adelaide Institute newsletter no. 80 it is stated that in the video I sent for the revisionist conference in Adelaide I mentioned that “more than 16 (sixteen) countries recognised the Vichy government and sent ambassadors to France” and that this is “not mentioned in books”. First, I did not say “more than sixteen”: it…
