Editing Holocaust denial (section)

=== France ===
In France, Holocaust denial became more prominent in the 1990s as {{lang|fr|[[Historical revisionism (negationism)|négationnisme]]}}, though the movement has existed in ultra-left French politics since at least the 1960s, led by figures such as [[Pierre Guillaume]] (who was involved in the bookshop [[La Vieille Taupe]] during the 1960s). Elements of the extreme far-right in France have begun to build on each other's negationist arguments, which often span beyond the Holocaust to cover a range of antisemitic views, incorporating attempts to tie the Holocaust to the Biblical massacre of the [[Canaanites]], critiques of Zionism, and other material fanning what has been called a "conspiratorial Judeo-phobia" designed to legitimize and "banalize" antisemitism.<ref>Richard Joseph Golsan, ''Vichy's Afterlife'', University of Nevada Press, 2003, p. 130.</ref>
