TEHRAN – Following the designation of a day as "Holocaust Day" by the United Nations, the Mehr News Agency conducted an interview with French professor Robert Faurisson on November 2 about the motivations behind this move.
In the interview, the professor says that Zionists will not tolerate any questioning of the "Holocaust" and argues that the more the Western public believes in the "Holocaust" the more Muslims will be killed. Following is the text of the interview:
Q: As you know the UN General Assembly on Tuesday (November 1) passed a resolution designating January 27 as an international day of commemoration of the Jewish and other victims of the Holocaust. What is your view on the decision at this time?
Faurisson: For many years now I have been telling my acquaintances in the Muslim world that the Jews and the Zionists want to impose the religion of the alleged "Holocaust" of the Jews on the whole world. It is normal that Jews and Zionists should seek to foist such an imposture on us, for it is the sword and the shield of the Jews in general and of the Jewish State in particular. It is also normal that the Jews and the Zionists should have got the UN to submit to their will to power and so decree that every year the six billion people who inhabit the Earth shall be reminded of the "Holocaust." The Muslim world has been awakening from its too long torpor for only a few years. It ought to have listened to the revisionists long ago and denounced out loud the sham of an alleged German project to exterminate the Jews, the alleged Nazi gas chambers and the alleged six million Jewish victims.
Q: The Holocaust is alleged to have happened in Europe so why is its commemoration being set by an international body like the UN?
Faurisson: Allow me to tell you that your question tends to prove that you haven't understood the warnings given by the revisionists. Whenever I, for my part, told Muslims: "Be revisionists! Support the revisionists! Try to understand that it's in your interest to do so," they would respond saying: "All that doesn't concern us. It's a matter between Europeans or Westerners, Jews or Christians. It happened in Europe." For me, such an answer was discouraging but I would come charging back saying: "Open your eyes! What makes for the strength of the Jewish State is the political support, rooted in supposedly ethical grounds, that it enjoys in the entire Western world, where people feel sorry for the Jews because they believe that, during the Second World War, the Germans sought to exterminate them physically, in particular in the alleged gas chambers (not to be confused with the cremation ovens, which did actually exist and about which there was positively nothing criminal)."
If the whole world – in particular, Germany and the United States – lays out so much money to the Jewish State and if the media of all the Western countries overwhelm us with propaganda about the "Holocaust", it's because the citizens of all those Western countries, swamped with Jewish propaganda as they are, believe the "Holocaust" lie and, as long as they believe it, will feel bound to support the Jews and to supply the Jewish State and the Jewish Army with ever more money and arms. The more those in the West believe in the "Holocaust", the more Muslims they will kill and cause to be killed in Palestine, in Afghanistan, in Iraq or elsewhere.
Q: The resolution was first proposed by Australia, Canada, Israel, Russia and the United States, but it was also supported by former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations John C. Danforth and Congressman Tom Lantos, a Democrat from California, who belongs to the Jewish lobby; in view of these facts, how do you assess Jewish power on the international scene with regard to the issue?
Faurisson: The Jews' power stems directly from the Western world's near-total belief in the phenomenal lie of the "Holocaust." You needn't look any further.
Q: Mr. Faurisson, I know that like some other revisionists, such as Ernst Zundel, you have been attacked and beaten by Jewish militia for saying that the Holocaust is "the hoax of the twentieth century" and asking "Show me or draw me a Nazi gas chamber! Stop giving me just words." If the Holocaust story is true, why don't the Jews tolerate other points of view on the issue?
Faurisson: The Jews do not tolerate any questioning of the "Holocaust." Against the revisionists they use physical violence and judicial repression because, on the level of historical and scientific argumentation, they have been defeated hands down by the revisionists. We have been able to expose their lies, one by one. Therefore Jews and Zionists seek refuge in violence and intimidation. They treat revisionists like Palestinians.
Q: What has to be done on the international scene by Islamic countries to oppose such practices?
Faurisson: My answer is simple: Islamic countries need to destroy the Jews' and Zionists' veritable "atomic weapon," that is, the appalling and gigantic imposture of the "Holocaust" that up to now has been poisoning the Western world and is henceforth imposed on us by the UN in the entire world. In your public demonstrations and talks, repeat after the revisionists: "The 'Holocaust' is a lie." Have the courage to proclaim this salutary truth.
Background:
Robert Faurisson is Europe's leading Holocaust revisionist scholar. He was educated at the Paris Sorbonne, and served as associate professor at the University of Lyon in France from 1974 until 1990. He is a recognized specialist of text and document analysis. After years of private research and study, Dr. Faurisson first made public his skeptical views about the Holocaust extermination story in articles published in 1978 in the French daily Le Monde. His writings on the Holocaust issue have appeared in two books and numerous scholarly articles, many of which have been published in the IHR's Journal of Historical Review.
Known as the dean of the world-wide revisionist movement and principal teacher of Ernst Zündel, Dr. Faurisson first discovered the technical and architectural drawings of the Auschwitz morgues, the crematories and other installations. He was also the first to insist that only a U.S. gas chamber expert could unravel the technical impossibility of the Auschwitz homicidal gassing story -- as falsely told to the public for over half a century. Zündel mentor, advisor and trial witness in the 1984 preliminary hearings and in the 1985 and 1988 Great Holocaust Trials. Slated as expert witness for the 1991 Munich trial of Ernst Zündel.

Faurisson has a holocaust denying career that goes way back.
Stupid Frenchman..
(Oh, sorry, that is redundant)
The FACT of the Holocaust has nothing to do with the number of muslims that are going to die....
It is the amount of islam based terrorism and the fact that they intend to complete the Holocaust that Germany started, and continue slaughtering of the rest of the world that is going to determine how many muslims have to die.....
If they will quit killing or threatening to kill everyone they can, then we won't have to defend ourselves by killing THEM.
Summary: A "leading revisionist scholar" in action; Faurisson's extreme dishonesty and deceitfulness
Robert Faurisson is considered by Holocaust-deniers as, perhaps, the "leading revisionist" worldwide (he used to share this title with David Irving, but now that Irving stated that 4 million Jews died in the Holocaust, his status in the "revisionist" community is not that clear).
A truly astounding examples of Faurisson's tactic of lies and deceit is demonstrated in his piece titled "The 'Problem of the Gas Chambers'", posted here by the tireless Marc Lemire.
In this piece, Faurisson "surveys" the gas chambers in the various camps, and tries to "prove" there is not sufficient evidence that they existed.
On two of the worst death camps, Treblinka and Belzec, Faurisson writes: # For proof that the "gas chambers" in Belzec or Treblinka really # existed, one is asked to rely essentially upon the statement of # Kurt Gerstein.
That's about it; Faurisson goes on to state that Gerstein's testimony cannot be trusted. But that's not the point. Who was Kurt Gerstein? He was an SS-officer, who saw Belzec and Treblinka just one time. He wasn't stationed in them. He visited them once, and saw a gassing operation. His testimony is accurate on the whole, although it is definitely emotional; also, he overestimated the number of people who were pushed into a single gas chamber.
So what does "leading revisionist" Faurisson do? Very simple. He "forgets" all other evidence to what happened in these camps: documents, physical remains, and numerous other testimonies, for instance those given by SS-men who served in these camps for a long time and, of course, provided a far more accurate and detailed picture than Gerstein. SS-men like Stangl, who commanded Treblinka; Franz, his deputy; and others (Mentz, Matthes, Lambert, Oberhauser, Suchomel, Horn, etc).
By not mentioning all these witnesses, and focusing on Gerstein, Faurisson is being extremely dishonest. First, he is lying when he states that "one is asked to rely essentially upon the statement of Kurt Gerstein"; there is a far greater body of evidence. Second, not only does Faurisson mention only one witness among many, he also - intentionally, obviously - chooses one that saw the camps only once and, as a result, gave a testimony which is less accurate than the testimony of those who spent a lot of time in the camps.
Faurisson's work is not "historical research". It is a miserable collection of outright lies, omissions, and misinterpretations, of which the above is a spectacular, but in no way unique, example.

Is the Anne Frank Diary genuine?
You need a strong stomach to read the filth Holocaust deniers peddle, but it's improtant for the uninformed to learn the tricks and fakery of the deniers. Bascially, they are Neo-Nazis.
---------------------------
Faurisson has relied on all these scummy techniques in order to deny the Holocaust.
These are the same scummy techniques which others have used to falsely tarnish Pope Pius XII's sterling reputation.
And I would venture to say they are the same techniques and attitude employed by those who are already denying that Muslims perpetrated 9-11, but rather that the U.S. and/or Israel "staged" the whole thing themselves.
That 9/11 denial began with the French "journalist" who argued that no plane hit the Pentagon since in the impact site photos of the Pentagon, no object recognizable as a plane is visible.
Because, of course, a hollow tube of metal that slams into a concrete facade at 500 mph would never crumple or fragment.
This is the kind of thinking you find in a person who, stupid or not, already has their heart set on excusing or endorsing evil.
In the near future, be`ezrat HaShem, I intend to write an essay for my web site that will offer my own theory as to the role played by the Holocaust and Holocaust-denial in our post-modern world.
I'm just waiting for the "palaeoconservative" crew, upon Carto's death, to begin making furtive, ambiguously positive references to Carto the way they sometimes do about Revilo Oliver, Francis Parker Yockey and Wilmot Robertson.
Don't forget their man Samuel Francis, who probably didn't even believe in G-d to begin with.
BUMP
The lie in that story is that "no parts were recognizable". But there ARE fins and other elements. There are also lamp posts that were knocked down by the wings of the plane.
He alledges that the US fired a cruise missile PAINTED to look like a plane into the Pentagon. How convenient that there was a plane hijacked that day. He offers no explanation where the people are today who were on that fateful flight.
Those books (he wrote 2) were bestsellers in France. Told me all I needed to know about their take on the War On Terror.
