Alain Guionnet

Alain Guionnet (22 April 1954) is a French Holocaust denier.

Born on 22 April 1954 in the 14th arrondissement of Paris, Alain Guionnet received a bachelor's degree in economical and social administration and master's degrees in history and hungarese.

According to Christophe Bourseiller, during Guionnet's youth, he led a far-left group called Oser lutter, oser vaincre ("Dare to struggle, dare to beat"), based in Issy-les-Moulineaux. Together with Pierre Guillaume, he also founded and contributed to the leftist newspaper La Guerre sociale. He wrote a "Letter to Guy Debord" that has been archived by the latter in his "Lettres reçues" (received letters).

In 1988, he took an interest in former commandant of Bergen-Belsen concentration camp Josef Kramer's trial through a book. After having collaborated on a revisionist magazine, ·  · in 1989 he founded his own, titled Revision, which publishes anti-Masonic and antisemitic articles and texts including and some articles by Robert Faurisson. The ninth volume reprinted Élie Reclus's article against circumcision. In the same time, he founded the Association contre la mutilation des enfants, together with Xavier Valla. Michel Erlich, a psychiatrist, categorized Revision as "[a vehicle of] delirious antiSemitism"; Guionnet hawked his magazine at Front National conventions. He published Revision until 2009.

Guionnet was sentenced to jail several times (in 1991, 1993 and 1994) for violations of the Gayssot Act, i.e., denying the Holocaust. He was also sentenced for defamation toward Pierre Vidal-Naquet.
