Holocaust denial leaflets were again distributed at university campuses in Melbourne last week, this time arguing a new Hollywood movie is wrong in its portrayal of discredited British historian David Irving.
The leaflets, associated with a group called ChemTrailsGeelong, were found on Monash and Melbourne University campuses and distributed last Thursday. It follows similar leaflet drops by the group in September.
Isabella Polgar, national chairwoman of the Australasian Union of Jewish Students, said leaflets state that the official version of the Holocaust is “demonstrably false”.
“These leaflets are the result of a nationally organised campaign to spread poisonous anti-Semitic conspiracies at our nation’s top universities,” Ms Polgar said.
“Universities have a responsibility to ensure the safety of their students and protect those vulnerable to racial discrimination.”
