Interior Minister Charles Pasqua said the French government is considering banning the works of historians who question the authenticity of the Holocaust. He commented in a radio interview as 30,000 people gathered near Paris to show support for right-wing presidential contender Jean-Marie Le Pen, who sparked protests by describing Nazi gas chambers as a minor point of history. Pasqua suggested that France adopt a law similar to a West German ban on neo-Nazi activities.
