What evidence links Georges Danton to the September Massacres?

There is no concrete evidence linking Georges Danton to the organization of the September Massacres of 1792. While the Girondins, the moderate faction of the French Revolution, accused Danton of being responsible for the violence, historians have found no proof that he or any other single individual orchestrated the events.1

Instead, the massacres are understood as an act carried out by the people of Paris rather than the result of a specific leader's command. It is, however, certain that Danton did nothing to intervene or stop the killings as they occurred.1
