The library of the Alliance Israelite Universelle, placed in the center of Paris, is known as a very welcoming place for searchers. One day a notorious revisionist who didn't hide his ideological identity, came to our library. His presence disrupted our regular functionality and set numerous questions regarding professional ethics in this kind of situation.
