Alain Guionnet
Alain Guionnet (April 22, 1954) is a French Holocaust denier[1] and founding editor of the revisionist magazine Revision, which publishes articles on such topics as conspiracy theories about Jews and freemasons and "virulent anti-Zionism".[2]
He received a bachelor's degree in general studies[3] 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.[4] Together with Pierre Guillaume, he also contributed to the leftist newspaper La Guerre sociale.[3] He wrote a "Letter to Guy Debord" that has been archived by the latter in his "Lettres reçues" (received letters).[5]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. 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]
