Pierre Guillaume

He was the founder of the Paris book shop La Vieille Taupe in 1965 and later the Holocaust denying publishing house of the same name.

The name was taken over by Guillaume, Serge Thion and Alain Guionnet in 1979 for the distribution of Holocaust denial books and the Bordigist pamphlet, Auschwitz, or the great alibi.

In 1980, Guillaume edited the Noam Chomsky essay "Some Elementary Comments on the Rights of Freedom of Expression"[5] and the 1996 Roger Garaudy book The Founding Myths of Modern Israel.

[6] The politics of Guillaume and other ultra-left Holocaust deniers (including Serge Thion and Paul Rassinier) have been characterized as "anarcho-Marxist."

The genocide of the Jews was seen by Guillaume and others as a distraction from class struggle, and as playing into the hands of Zionist and Stalinist ideologies, and was hence denied.
