Overview
- Hachette added a Larousse dictionary for middle-schoolers to earlier recalls of three revision manuals that used the same contested wording.
- All four works have been withdrawn from sale, are subject to a formal recall, and will be destroyed.
- The dictionary entry said more than 1,200 "Jewish settlers" were killed in October 2023, mirroring the phrasing found in the manuals.
- About twenty editors have been assigned to review roughly one hundred school, extracurricular and dictionary titles totaling more than 50,000 pages.
- Hachette opened an internal inquiry and will strengthen vetting for future publications, after LICRA flagged the error and President Emmanuel Macron condemned the falsification of facts.
