Serge Thion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Serge Thion (born 1942) is a French sociologist mainly known for his Holocaust denial.

Thion is associated with the bookshop and publisher La Vieille Taupe. It has been alleged that he is also linked to the website 'Ancient Amateurs Association of War and Holocaust Tales' [1] [2], which first appeared in 1996.

Thion worked as a researcher at the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) from 1971 to 2000. Most of his research focused on Cambodia and Vietnam. Thion was the subject of some controversy when he wrote that "genocide" was not a proper description of what happened in Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge rule. His employment was terminated in 2000 after a French newspaper revealed that Thion had used his position at the CNRS to promote Holocaust denial.

Thion is a staunch supporter of the antisemitic comedian and politician Dieudonné M'bala M'bala, on whose website he regularly writes under the transparent pseudonym Serge Noith.
