==Faurisson's letters to ''Le Monde''== In December 1978 and January 1979, Robert Faurisson, a [[France|French]] [[professor]] of literature at the [[University of Lyon]], published two letters in ''[[Le Monde]]'' claiming that the [[gas chambers]] used by the [[Nazism|Nazis]] to exterminate the [[Jew]]s did not exist. As a result of a [[television|TV]] [[interview]], he was found guilty of [[defamation]] and [[incitement to ethnic or racial hatred|incitement to racial hatred]] and given a suspended 3-month [[prison]] term, and a 21,000-franc (β¬3,200) fine. In addition he was ordered to pay for the reproduction of the judgement in national [[newspaper]]s and television. This latter requirement was dropped after he appealed.
