Vincent Reynouard tells Paul Fromm, director of the Canadian Association for Free Expression, about his life as a revisionist. Persecutions, searches of the Police, prison, exile, grievous loss of his family (two times…).
Vincent Reynouard, born in 1969, is a French historian specializing in the Second World War who has been punished for violating France’s controversial “Gayssot” law by expressing dissident views about Twentieth-Century history. Reynouard studied in Caen, Normandy, and graduated as a chemical engineer. He then taught mathematics at professional secondary schools. However, in 1997 he was fired for political reasons by the French Education Minister, after the discovery of revisionist texts on the hard disk of the computer which he used at school. Since then Reynouard has survived on his writings as a historian. He is the author of several dozen essays or brochures on diverse subjects, mostly dealing with World War II. He is the author of a book about the Oradour-sur-Glane “massacre,” a clash in a French village in June 1944 between German SS troops and French Resistance fighters, in which 640 civilians died. Reynouard eventually emigrated to Great Britain, where he was arrested in late 2022 based on a French European-wide arrest warrant. After more than a year in prison while fighting his extradition, he was extradided to France in early 2024. He was released on bail shortly afterwards, awaiting further criminal proceedings for his activities while in Britain.
Frederick Paul Fromm (born 1949) is a Canadian former high school teacher and avid lobbyist for civil rights for revisionists, among other things.

High-school teacher and former head of the German National Democratic Party (NPD) Guenter Deckert, currently in a German prison after a series of judicial travesties that would have fazed Kafka and driven Orwell to distraction, writes in good English to tell us that on April 27 he was sentenced to an additional 27 months for…
The English Centre of International PEN reviewed the film approvingly: THE final interview, and arguably the most controversial, was with the historian David Irving. While he still vehemently denies accusations of racism, anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial, Irving conceded that he had voiced "doubts and scepticism" about Auschwitz during a speech he had given in Austria…

Ernst Zündel won another, big round against his persecutors in Canada on April 14. The misnamed Canadian Human Rights Tribunal agreed to adjourn indefinitely its hearings aimed at closing down the Zündel Website in the U.S. (actually controlled and operated by Dr. Ingrid Rimland) by holding Zündel responsible for its revisionist (“and thus anti-Semitic”) content….
