France mulls ways to sanction Holocaust doubter
By Reuters
PARIS - France is checking whether it can take legal action
against a leading far-right politician who has questioned whether the Nazis used
gas chambers in the Holocaust, Justice Minister Dominique Perben said on
Thursday.
The University of Lyon has urged education officials to suspend
Bruno Gollnisch, a professor of Japanese there, for questioning how the gas
chambers were used in the wartime slaughter of the Jews and querying the death
toll.
The president of the European Parliament, Josep Borrell, also called
for legal action against Gollnisch, a European deputy who is also the number two
man in the National Front party of extreme-right leader Jean-Marie Le
Pen.
"Mr Gollnisch's comments are absolutely unacceptable," Perben told
France Info radio in announcing the probe.
"In an affair like this, I think
the response should not only be penal ... but it should be political and
possibly also professional."
France anti-racism laws have made denying the
Holocaust a crime, punishable by fines and even prison.
Gollnisch, who is
known as the intellectual of the controversial party, said on Monday he
recognized that the gas chambers had existed but thought historians still had to
decide whether they were actually used to kill Jews.
He called for an open
debate about whether the total number of Jews killed in the Holocaust was
actually 6 million as stated.
He also questioned the objectivity of leading
historian Henry Rousso, who is investigating charges that certain Lyon lecturers
were denying the Holocaust, by calling him "a Jewish personality".
The CRIF
umbrella group of French Jewish organizations publicly condemned Gollnisch's
comments at a news conference about Rousso's report on Holocaust denial at Lyon
University.
European Parliament head Borrell said: "I would like to say
clearly to public opinion in Europe and to all those who suffered from Nazi
ethnic cleansing that the European Parliament will not tolerate this kind of
statement."
At his Monday news conference, Gollnisch also said that serious
historians no longer accepted that all the judgements of the post-war Nuremberg
Trials of leading Nazis were fair.
"I don't know if I will lose my chair as
professor of Japanese or even be put in prison for saying that, but I stand by
it," he added.
Gollnisch, who studied law and political science at Kyoto
University in Japan, holds a chair for Japanese language and civilization at the
Lyon university named after Jean Moulin - the hero of the French Resistance
murdered by the Nazis in
1943.
