Robert
Faurisson’s Historic Testimony
HOLOCAUST: A gigantic political and financial swindle
GAZA: Those
Jews will experience the fate of all invaders
Interview given by Professor Robert
Faurisson to the Algerian
Arabic-language daily Echorouk, published January 12,
2009
“The
Holocaust” is a historical lie. At the very height of
the Zionist massacre of which Gaza Palestinians are now the
victims, Professor Robert Faurisson states once more that
there was never any genocide of the Jews during the Second
World War and that the Nazis, under Hitler’s rule,
never perpetrated what today is called “the
Holocaust”. Since he began expressing his convictions
publicly the Jewish lobby has never ceased attacking and
persecuting him for his historical research and his
opinions. I first met him just over two years ago at the
international conference on “the Holocaust” held
in Tehran.
Since then we’ve met and corresponded a number of times
. With Israel’s war against Gaza, Professor Faurisson
has once again opposed and stood up to the Jews in
disclosing and expounding on their aims, and on their
baseness. I’ve asked him to grant an interview to
Echorouk and he
has readily agreed. In his reading of the situation,
Professor Faurisson foresees, in the long term, defeat for
the Jews in their occupation of Palestine; those Jews will
experience the fate of all invaders.
Interview conducted
by Mourad Ouabass.
Who are you, Robert Faurisson?
I’m about to turn 80 years of age. I was born
near London in 1929 to a French father and a Scottish
mother. I’m both a British subject and a French
citizen. I’ve been a university professor. I taught at
the Sorbonne and at a university in Lyon. I earned the
agrègation (a degree obtained after the
highest competitive examination) in modern and classical
languages and literature (French, Latin, Greek) and hold a
doctorate in literature and the social sciences (which
encompass history). My two specialities have been
“modern and contemporary French literature” and
the “appraisal of texts and documents (literature,
history, media)”. I have taken a special interest in
Second World War propaganda.
Can you briefly inform Algerian
readers of your research work, the aim of which has been to
revise the history of what today is called “the
Holocaust” of the Jews?
At the Nuremberg trial (1945-1946), a court made up of
the victors of the recent war accused a vanquished Germany
1) of having ordered and planned the physical extermination
of the Jews of Europe; 2) of having, to that purpose,
designed, built and used weapons of mass destruction called,
particularly, “gas chambers”; 3) of having,
essentially with those weapons but by other means as well,
caused the death of six million Jews.
How have you revised those
accusations?
To back up that triple accusation,
repeated for the past sixty years and more by all the big
Western media, no evidence capable of withstanding serious
examination has ever been produced. I’ve therefore come
to the following conclusion: The alleged
Hitlerite gas chambers and the alleged genocide of the Jews
form one and the same historical lie, which has permitted a
gigantic political and financial swindle whose main
beneficiaries are the state of Israel and international
Zionism and whose main victims are the German people –
but not their leaders – and the Palestinian people in
their entirety.
What effects have there been of
your publishing the findings from your historical research,
which conflict with the generally held belief in what is
called “the Holocaust”?
My life became hell from the day in July 1974 when I
was denounced by the Israeli newspaper Yedioth
Aharonoth. From 1974 to today I have suffered ten
physical assaults, I’ve had countless court cases and
convictions and have ended up being deprived of the right to
teach at university. In France, in order to silence the
“revisionists” that we are, the Jewish lobby got a
special law passed, the Fabius-Gayssot Act of July 13, 1990,
modelled on an Israeli law of July 1986. Laurent Fabius is a
Socialist member of parliament, extremely rich and a Jew,
whilst Jean-Claude Gayssot is a Communist MP. The
Fabius-Gayssot Act provides for up to a year’s
imprisonment, a fine of € 45,000 and still other sanctions
for those who “challenge” the alleged
“Holocaust”. In nearly all the Western world, with
or without any special law, revisionism is severely
punished. A certain number of my revisionist colleagues or
friends have been or are now in prison, some for long years,
especially in Germany and Austria, countries with which no
[real] peace treaty has yet been signed following
the end of hostilities in 1945 and whose governments remain
subject to the will of the victors of the Second World
War.
Has “the Holocaust”
become a worldwide taboo?
In the Western world, people have the right to
challenge all religions, except the religion of “the
Holocaust”. One may make fun of God, Jesus, Mohamed but
not of what Simon Wiesenthal, Elie Wiesel and Simone Veil
have had to say about the alleged genocide or the alleged
gas chambers. Auschwitz has become a holy shrine.
Pilgrimages to it are organised. Visitors see the alleged
relics of the alleged gassing victims: shoes, eyeglasses,
hair, and steel cans that once contained Zyklon B, an
insecticide presented as having been the substance used to
kill the Jews whereas it was actually used for disinfecting
clothing or buildings in camps ravaged by typhus epidemics.
We are told that the Germans sought “the final solution
of the Jewish question” in Europe and that those words
concealed, apparently, their desire to exterminate the Jews.
That’s false. There mustn’t be any cheating here.
The Germans, in reality, sought “a final TERRITORIAL
solution of the Jewish question”. They wanted to expel
the Jews to a territory that would then be their own.
It’s accurate to say that before the war they thought,
for a time, that the territory might be in Palestine but,
very quickly, they reckoned that solution would be
impossible, and that it must be discarded out of
consideration for “the noble and valiant Arab
people” (sic! I guarantee that those were their
words).
What really happened,
then?
During the war the Germans, keen to neutralise the
Jews, placed a certain number of them in concentration or
labour camps to wait out the conflict. They put off the
definitive solution till after the war’s end. During
the war, and up to the last months thereof, they said to the
Allies: “You marvel at the Jews, do you? Take them,
then. We’re ready to send you as many European Jews as
you want but on one express condition: that they remain in
Britain until the end of the war; on no pretence must they
go to Palestine; the Palestinian people have already
suffered so much at the hands of Jews that it would be an
‘indecency’ (sic) to add to their
martyrdom”.
With that you prompt me to ask
you your opinion on the massacre now going on in
Gaza.
Today, more than ever, the Palestinian people are
enduring an appalling plight. The Israeli army, after having
inflicted on them “Operation Grapes of Wrath”,
then “Operation Jenin Defensive Shield” followed
by “Operation Rainbow” and “Operation Day of
Repentance”, is now inflicting “Operation Cast
Lead” on them. In vain! In vain for, in my view, the
State of Israel will not live even as long as the Frankish
kingdom of Jerusalem did, that is, 89 years. Most of the
Jews there will quit those lands in the same panic as the
French colonists quitting Algiers in 1962 or the American
army abandoning Saigon in 1975. Palestine will become once
more a free country where Moslems, Christians, Jews and
others will be able to live together. At least that’s
the wish I myself hold, I who for 34 years have been treated
in France like a sort of Palestinian. I said this on
December 11th and 12th, 2006, during
the conference on “the Holocaust” organised in
Tehran under the aegis of President Ahmadinejad: we all have
the means to help in the liberation of Palestine. These
means consist in making known to the whole world the
findings of revisionist research. All credibility must be
taken away from the alleged “Holocaust”, which has
become the number one weapon of Zionism and the State of
Israel; this lie is the sword and shield of that State. It
would be absurd to try to defend against the Israelis’
military armament whilst sparing their number one worldwide
propaganda weapon.
I’ve recently learnt that
still another court case against you looms because of your
persistence in challenging – as is forbidden in France
– the reality of the Jewish “Holocaust”. When
will your troubles in the law-courts ever end? After all,
you’re about to reach the age of 80.
I’ll tell you now that at my next trial, of which
I don’t yet know the date, I shall make the following
declaration to the three judges in the 17th
chamber of the Paris criminal court (2, 4 Boulevard du
Palais, 75001 Paris): “Whoever allows himself to claim
that the alleged Nazi gas chambers and the alleged genocide
of the Jews are a historical reality is, whether he likes it
or not, giving support to a horrid lie that has become the
number one war propaganda weapon of the State of Israel, a
colonialist, racist and imperialist State. Let whoever has
the nerve to support the ‘Holocaust’ myth look at
his hands! His hands are red with the blood of Palestinian
children!”
