Dr Fredrick Toben dead at 76

The controversial founder of the Adelaide Institute – a holocaust denial group established in 1995 – has died aged 76.

Dr Toben’s death was confirmed on the website of the Adelaide Institute – a holocaust denial group he established in 1995.

“After suffering a grave illness for the past few months he is at peace,” the website says.

“He will be remembered by his friends and supporters as a gentleman with an inquiring mind who was not content to stand idly by and allow the endless vilification and false accusations against his beloved German people.”

German-born Dr Toben emigrated to Australia with his family in 1954 at the age of 10.
