Background: Dr. Toben is an Australian citizen and founder and director of the Adelaide Institute and author of works on education, political science and history. He completed a Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Stuttgart in 1977. In 1999 he was imprisoned for nine months at Mannhein, Germany for breaching Germany's Holocaust Law, Section 130. In 2002 a judgement was passed in the Federal Court of Australia that prohibits him from questioning/denying the three pillars on which the Holocaust-Shoah myth is erected:
War On You: Should History Be Decided In A Courtroom?

The inquiry posed, above--"Should History Be Decided In A Courtroom?"--obviously demands a negative answer, when taken as an abstract question. But there are two other important questions implied (though never directly asked) by this article, viz.:

(1) Should there be any laws regulating free speech, even as concerning such a sensitive matter as Holocaust denial?

(2) Do the revisionists have a reasonable point?

As to the first of these questions, it is worth noting that it is not the proper place of the US, or of any other sovereign nation, to dictate to Germany what its laws should resemble, as regarding Holocaust denial. In the US, any such restriction would doubtless run afoul of the First Amendment. But one cannot superimpose American constitutional law upon the Republic of Germany.

And as to the latter question, suffice it to say that I very seldom agree with revisionist historians, whether they are busily reinterpreting and deconstructing American history or doing the same with mid-twentieth-century German history. Those who were there at the time are usually in a much better position to know the truth than second-guessers of a later generation.
