Resurgences of an occultation of antisemitism
Yann Moix is overtaken by antisemitic publications thirty years ago.
These years in France, antisemitism had taken Parisian circles and Yann Moix was not the only one. It was neither rare, nor singular, and even less exceptional, because the time, in matters of hatred of the Jews, was particularly in vogue.
Several antisemites of this time, fed on the website “Les Ogres de la Republique”.
This website had taken an unprecedented boom, in the suburbs and in the capital,
in the spread of negationism.
The question does not arise only for Yann Moix, but for all the speakers of this site
that we have seen and who, today, arouse in the Jewish community an “admiration”
pretending the real substance of their thought.
This website was closed by Nicolas Sarkozy, then Minister of the Interior.
This revisionist website had a very precise function: to override the Shoa, trivialize the Shoa and antisemitism. Several personalities were among them and their proximity to the anti-Semitic extreme right has continued for many years.
We were the first association to denounce these drifts, followed by a journalist who released a book at the time. Our warning was not followed by “Judaism credit sellers” by unsustainable sleight of hand where the executioners have become friends. This led to the assassination of Ilan Halimi (z “l) The whole truth should now resurface about this time and the complacency it has benefited from those who were nevertheless informed of its constant excesses. There can be no fight against anti-Semitism without forging a strong national historical consciousness.
Yann Moix was not the only one.
