On the occasion of the award ceremony in Norway Prof. Faurisson, together with two revisionist colleagues standing outside the venue – the Oslo Peace Center –, distributed a press release flyer outlining the facts he would later address in detail…
1. The devastating barb: “There’s no business like Shoah business” is, sad to say, a recognizable truth. Leon A. Jick, “The Holocaust: its Use and Abuse within the American Public”, Yad Vashem Studies (XIV), Jerusalem 1981, p. 316. 2. In the case of the genocide of the Jews, it is obvious that one of the…
In 1961 Jean-Jacques Pauvert published A-t-on lu Rimbaud ? (“Has Rimbaud been read?”). In 1971, he republished the work together with the additional text “L’affaire Rimbaud”.

Prof. Faurisson expounds on, among other things, the fundamental importance, as regards the “Holocaust” question, of understanding what a homicidal gas chamber actually is, a point that was wholly neglected by all – himself included – until he finally addressed it in 1974. Thanks, in particular, to his on-site study of the gas chamber of…
It was Robert Faurisson’s paper on “The Rumour of Auschwitz” (Le Monde, 29 December 1978) that introduced me to Holocaust revisionism. The night I read it was a milestone in my life. In 1983 Faurisson flew to Southern California from France to give a talk to a conference sponsored by the Institute for Historical Review. I was so…
