Alain Guionnet
Alain Guionnet (born 22 april 1954) is a French Holocaust denier.[1]
As a student, he graduated with a bachelor degree in AES.[2] and a master's degree in history. During his youth, he led a far-left group called « Oser lutter » (Dare to struggle), based in Issy-les-Moulineaux.[3] Together with Pierre Guillaume, he also contributed to the "leftist" newspaper La Guerre sociale[2] and distributed Amadeo Bordiga theories about Auschwitz[4]. His friend Serge Thion presented Noam Chomsky to the french audience in the late 70's.[5] He is a chess and go player with good level.[6]
In 1989, he founded (and managed) the monthly Holocaust denying newspaper Revision and, with Xavier Valla (secretary) and Didier Ders (treasurer and present President), the Association contre la mutilation des enfants,[7] which was the first in Europe to distribute NOCIRC materials against routine circumcision. In Revision n°9, he reprinted Élie Reclus's article against this ritual. He also published the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a sadly famous antiJew sheet.[8]. Valla himself published a revisionist article (http://pdfcast.org/pdf/la-honte-de-judas-de-xavier-valla) in "Revision" n° 4. Alain Guionnet had been sentenced to jail many times in virtue of the Gayssot Act for challenging the existence of the extermination of the Jews. Revisionism is forbidden for advertising since the Gayssot law (1990) (cf. Pierre Joxe's statement of 1990).
A self-proclaimed « anti-Jew »,[9] he wrote many books published under several pseudonyms such as :
- Le Mode de production des hommes-plantes, 1980 (signed « Jacques Moulin »)
- La Campagne pour la constitution du Reich allemand, 1981 (signed « Jacques Moulin ») N.B: Preface and translation of articles written in 1850 by Friedrich Engels.
- Josef Kramer contre Josef Kramer, Polémiques, 1988 (signed « L'Aigle Noir »)
- Manifeste antijuif, Libre parole, 1991 (signed « Attila Lemage »)
- Contre Einstein, 1996 (signed « L'Aigle noir »).
