The next three I’ll discuss are all French:
A Nizkor site called ‘Hatewatch’, which conflates revisionism with skinhead and racist violence, neo-Nazis, and similar topics, leads on to three essays by Pierre Vidal-Naquet, Nadine Fresco, and Lin Collette. Pierre Vidal-Naquet’s essay is in English translation ‘Assassins of Memory’. By coincidence, I came across him in a book by Peter b2b database James, the chronology revisionist of the ancient world; Vidal-Naquet is a classicist in the traditional Greco-Roman sense and his 1987 article has references to the Peloponnesian War, Sparta, George Grote, Thucydides, as well as Algeria and the post-war French group Socialisme ou Barbarie. He says there’s ‘nothing more common in history, more sadly banal, than massacres’. I couldn’t find much in the way of direct argument here. Nadine Fresco’s 1990 article is ‘The Denial of the Dead: On the Faurisson Affair’. She seems to be a journalist on Les Tempes Modernes.
This is mostly on Faurisson and Chomsky with
Excursions into French authors. Both these authors quote Johann-Paul Kremer, a doctor at Auschwitz, who however so far as I can find seems to have given testimony to both Nuremberg and Polish communist courts and to have subsequently retracted some of it before being hanged. The third of the three Hatewatch essays is by Lin Collette, called ‘Encountering Holocaust denial’. She is or was described as a doctoral candidate in religious studies at the Union Institute, Cincinnati. Her article deals with whether an advert should have been placed by Bradley R. Smith of the Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust in student newspapers. She discusses the Ku Klux Klan, American tolerance, and so on. Perhaps more impressive is Deborah Lipstadt who wrote a 1993 book Denying the Holocaust: the Growing Assault on Truth and Memory.
