Alain Guionnet (April 22, 1954) is a French Holocaust denier.[1]
He founded in 1989 the magazine Revision, which publishes articles on such topics as conspiracy theories about Jews and freemasons and "virulent anti-Zionism".[2]
Biography
He received bachelor's degrees in general studies and in economical and social administration,[3] master's degrees in history and in hungarese, and then followed a seminar of jude studies at the École Pratique des Hautes Études (EPHE).
According to Christophe Bourseiller, he would have led, during his youth, a far-left group called Oser lutter, oser vaincre ("Dare to struggle, dare to beat"), based in Issy-les-Moulineaux.[4] Together with Pierre Guillaume, he also founded and contributed to the leftist newspaper La Guerre sociale.[3] He wrote a "Letter to Guy Debord" that has been archived by the latter in his "Lettres reçues" (received letters).[5]
After having collaborated on a revisionist magazine, in 1989 he founded his own, titled Revision,[6] which publishes antisemitic articles and texts[7] including The Protocols of the Elders of Zion and some articles by Robert Faurisson. The ninth volume reprinted Élie Reclus's article against circumcision. In the same time, he founded the Association contre la mutilation des enfants, together with Xavier Valla. Michel Erlich, a psychiatrist, categorized Revision as "[a vehicle of] delirious antiSemitism";[8] Guionnet has hawked his magazine at Front National conventions.[9]
Alain Guionnet has been sentenced to jail several times by way of the Gayssot Act, for denying the Holocaust.[10] He was also sentenced for defamation toward Pierre Vidal-Naquet.[11]
