Robert Faurisson is a French Holocaust denier and former professor of literature at the University of Lyon in France. Faurisson has publicly denied the existence of gas chambers in Nazi concentration camps, the authenticity of The Diary of Anne Frank, and the veracity of Eli Wiesel’s accounts of his own wartime sufferings. He is an anti-Semite.
In 1983 a French court fined Faurisson for his malicious revisionist writings that violated French hate speech laws. He is quoted as saying, “The alleged Hitlerite gas chambers and the alleged genocide of the Jews constitute one and the same historical lie, which made possible a gigantic financial-political fraud, the principal beneficiaries of which are the State of Israel and international Zionism, and whose principal victims are the German people – but not their leaders – and the entire Palestinian people.”
In 1990 he was convicted of Holocaust denial, though fellow deniers have called Faurisson’s goal as “the rehabilitation, in pseudo scholarly form, of the Third Reich.”
Faurisson was never too shy to display his deep hatred of the Jewish people:
"Zionist power stems from the West's belief in the 'Holocaust' myth....The Jews do not tolerate any questioning of the "Holocaust". Against the revisionists they use physical violence and judicial repression because, on the level of historical and scientific argumentation, they have been defeated hands down by the revisionists. We have been able to expose their lies, one by one. Therefore Jews and Zionists seek refuge in violence and intimidation. They treat revisionists like Palestinians.......The more those in the West believe in the "Holocaust", the more Moslems they will kill and cause to be killed in Palestine, in Afghanistan, in Iraq or elsewhere."
