Résumé
Lies, denial, “revision,” distortion, falsification, conspiracism, denial, trafficking … These are the words used by the deniers and those who fought against them, in France and around the world. Although the prevention of genocide was the main aim of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, signed by Raphaël Lemkin in 1948, genocides have been committed, and their denial has always been consubstantial with their perpetration. What the deniers, the falsifiers, the liars, the thieves of lives and history reject is expertise, the indexical paradigm that Carlo Ginzburg has reminded us underpins the practice of the profession of historian and all the social sciences.
