Tonight men and woman of Scottish ancestry worldwide are celebrating Burns Night in honour of the national bard, Robert Burns (1759-1796).
H&D readers today pay tribute to the great revisionist scholar Professor Robert Faurisson, born on this day in 1929.
The Professor was born in Shepperton, west London, to a Scottish mother and French father. Due to his father’s shipping business he travelled widely in his childhood, completing his education in Paris at the Lycée Henri IV and the Sorbonne, before embarking on a teaching career at the University of Lyon.
In the early 1970s Robert Faurisson began what he later termed “the great intellectual adventure” of historical revisionism: the online Faurisson Archive begun by his right-hand man and translator, the late Guillaume Nichols, documents the many successes of that adventure in steadily and methodically demolishing the edifice of lies built up since 1945 about the “Holocaust”.
Professor Faurisson died in October 2018 just after returning home to Vichy from his final conference, held at his birthplace in Shepperton and organised by H&D.
Today we salute his memory, but not simply in valediction.
The great intellectual adventure continues on Tuesday 27th January with the Holocaust Summit, where our assistant editor Peter Rushton will be among the speakers.
Summit organiser Germar Rudolf is taking revisionism on into the 2020s. The spirit of historical exactitude – the spirit of Robert Faurisson – is alive.
So as we toast Robert Burns this evening, we also hail the dawn of real history and the real Europe.
Robert Faurisson, present!
