Robert Faurisson was born on 25 January 1929 in Shepperton, England, of a French father and a Scottish mother. The eldest of seven children, his first schooling was in Singapore and in Kobe, Japan; from the age of seven, he attended various French catholic institutions, including a Jesuit college in Marseille and, in Paris, the Collège Stanislas.He pursued his studies in classics in Paris at the Lycée Henri-IV and the Sorbonne. He holds the agrégation des lettres (French, Latin, Greek) and a doctorate in "literature and the social sciences".
He taught modern and contemporary French literature at the Sorbonne. At the Université Lumière of Lyon, he developed a structure for the teaching of "Criticism of texts and documents (literature, history, media)".
In the 1960s and 1970s, he made a name for himself with his method of decrypting literary works with a reputation for difficulty; in that period he published A-t-on lu Rimbaud?, A-t-on lu Lautréamont ? and La Clé des "Chimères" et "Autres Chimères" de Nerval.
From the late 1970s onwards, he applied the same direct and pragmatic method to the study of difficult historic or literary subjects: the problem of the Nazi gas chambers, the "confessions" of the SS, the Diary of Anne Frank, etc.
In 1978-1979 he was forced to give up his teaching activities.
Between 1978 and 1993 he suffered numerous physical assaults. He has been
beleaguered with criminal proceedings. He has published four revisionist booklets and produced two chief revisionist works in French, one of which, the four volume Ecrits révisionnistes (1974-1998), was, owing to the laws against historical revisionism, edited privately and printed at his own expense.
Some of his revisionist writings were published from 1980 to 2002 in the American Journal of Historical Review ; the first two were entitled "The Mechanics of
Gassings" (Spring 1980) and "The Gas Chambers of Auschwitz Appear to be Physically Inconceivable" (Winter 1981); the last was "My Revisionist Method"
(March/April 2002).
Robert Faurisson has lived with his French wife in the town of Vichy since 1957. They have three children and five grand-children. He is an atheist and apolitical.
Repercussions: At least 10 times physically assaulted by Holocaust Enforcers; on several occasions he was nearly killed. He had his jaws broken, teeth knocked out and hospitalized for weeks, and he has been persecuted mercilessly in endless legal battles.
