520 _aHolocaust denial and conspiracism are both typical examples of misinformation. They are also intimately and historically linked. The denial of the genocide of the Jews, inaugurated by Maurice Bardèche three years after the end of the Second World War, situates at the center of its discourse a so-called “international Jewish conspiracy” that would have fabricated this “twentieth century hoax” in order to justify the existence of the state of Israel and extort reparations payments from Germany. The ideologists Robert Faurisson and Roger Garaudy, followed by their political heirs, have “evolved” their negationism, helping it to emerge from its confidentiality and bringing it to an international audience. A galaxy combining conspiracy theorists and Holocaust deniers emerged following the attacks of September 11, 2001. Against the backdrop of anti-imperialism, anti-capitalism, anti-Americanism, and anti-Zionism, it re-enacts an anti-Semitic discourse that places at its heart the denunciation of “Jewish power.”
