Dr . Fredrick Töben of Adelaide, Australia, arrested in Germany

By Arthur R. Butz ∙ April 8, 1999

Last updated on

Dr. Fredrick Töben, Director of Australia's Adelaide Institute, who organized the successful 1998 revisionist conference there, was arrested in Germany on 8 April 1999, on a charge of “defaming the memory of the dead”. He was sent to Mannheim Prison.

Töben was on a research visit, mainly in Eastern Europe. His activities are described at the Adelaide Institute website. I have the impression that he did not do very much in Germany.

Töben was accompanied in his research by the Italian revisionist Carlo Mattogno and the Swiss revisionist Jürgen Graf (who is facing a prison term in Switzerland).

8 April 1999.

  • We Are Under Siege!

    The worst attacks Holocaust revisionism has ever suffered always came from within: The in-fighting between the Institute for Historical Review and Willis Carto (the founder and main financier of the IHR) starting in the mid-1993. This had been triggered by a 7+million-dollar bequest of the Farrel Estate to the Legion for the Survival of Freedom, Inc. (the IHR’s umbrella organization). The resulting legal battle squandered these millions mostly with legal fees, and destroyed the IHR as a viable organization. Next came the extortion attempts by Michael Santomauro in late 2023/early 2024, who, as a board member of CODOH, gained control of almost all of CODOH’s essential assets, and then abused that “leverage” to blackmail CODOH for huge sums of money.
