The former mathematics teacher, who worked in Honfleur and had lived in Saint-Lô (Manche), was suspended from the National Education system for his Holocaust denial theories, which he continues to propagate on his YouTube channel. Shortly before the commemorations of the 70th anniversary of D-Day in early 2014, he questioned the extermination of European Jews. He went so far as to draw a parallel between the study trips to Auschwitz and « indoctrination in the name of the duty to remember. »
Several associations file complaints
In this film, Vincent Reynouard accused two associations: Dday-Overlord and Westlake Brothers Souvenir. They had filed a complaint in February 2014, along with other groups including the International League Against Racism and Anti-Semitism, for slander and denial of crimes against humanity. The man was then sentenced to two years in prison on February 11, 2015, by the Coutances court (Manche). The sentence was deemed too harsh (the maximum sentence provided for in the Penal Code is one year for the offense of contesting a crime against humanity), so he was retried on June 17, 2015, by the Caen Court of Appeal. The latter handed down a one-year prison sentence.
