Gerald Fredrick Töben (born 2 June 1944) is a German-born Australian citizen and founder and former director of the Adelaide Institute. He is the author of numerous works on education, political science, and history, although he became best known afterwards for Holocaust denial (he is the founder of the Adelaide Institute, a web and print publication that questions the Holocaust), inciting racial hatred, and being arrested and imprisoned for nine months in Mannheim Prison in 1998 for breaching Germany's Holocaust Law (§ 130 public incitement) prohibiting anyone from defaming the dead.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Holocaust denial: Tony Abbott, George Brandis unable to say how race-hate law changes would work )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Holocaust denier sentenced to three months )〕 Toben wrote of his work: "If you wish to begin to doubt the Holocaust-Shoah narrative, you must be prepared for personal sacrifice, must be prepared for marriage and family break-up, loss of career, and go to prison."〔 In the past he had denied that he said that the Holocaust was a "lie".〔 Töben claims he cannot deny that which never happened. He has served two jail sentences, one in Germany for defaming the dead and one in Australia for breaching a court order to refrain from publishing material on his website vilifying Jews. He apologised for breaching the court order. ==Early life and career== Töben was born in Jaderberg, Germany. In 1954, when he was ten years old, Töben moved to Australia with his family. He studied at Melbourne University BA (1970), in Australia and Wellington University BA (1968), in New Zealand, later earning a D Phil (1977) from Stuttgart University, and a Grad Cert Ed (1978) from the University of Rhodesia. He went on to teach at secondary level at Leongatha, Kings Park, St. Arnaud, and Goroke, and tertiary level at the Warrnambool Institute/Deakin University, Victoria. During 1981–82 he lectured at the Advanced College of Education, Minna, Nigeria.〔 From 1980 to 1985, Töben worked as a temporary employee for the Victorian Department of Education and Training in Melbourne. He was dismissed from his teaching position on the grounds of incompetence and disobedience, working afterward as a school bus driver. Töben won his case against dismissal in the County Court and his appeal in the Supreme Court of Victoria, mitigating his own damages. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gerald Fredrick Töben」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
