| Description |
Discusses the Gayssot Law of 1990, which penalizes Holocaust denial in France. Argues that those who deny the Nazi use of gas chambers for extermination, and the number of Jewish victims in the Shoah, are Holocaust deniers and not just revisionists. The law penalizes denial of crimes committed against humanity as defined by the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg, i.e. crimes against Jews and Gypsies. Holocaust denial is more than just an opinion it underpins a militant antisemitic discourse which aims to marginalize the Jews in France. In addition, since the Nazis tried to eradicate both the Jews and the evidence of the genocide, Holocaust denial, in its own way, re-perpetrates the crime. The memory of the Shoah is still vulnerable and needs to be protected from confusion and denial. Points out the mistake in comparing the Gayssot Law to Soviet laws which hide the truth about the Katyn massacre. The latter served to cover up misdeeds while the former punishes a crime.
