	Born in Jaderburg, Lower [[Saxony]], [[Germany]], Töben's parents emigrated to Australia in 1954 where he subsequently became an Australian citizen. He spoke both German and English. He studied at the Victoria University of Wellington (BA 1968), in New Zealand, and at Australia's Melbourne University (BA 1970). Returning to Germany he qualified as a Doctor of Philosophy (1977) from Stuttgart University, and the following year gained a Certificate of Education from the University of [[Rhodesia]]. He taught at secondary level at Leongatha, Kings Park, St. Arnaud, and Goroke, and at tertiary level at the Warrnambool Institute of Advanced Education (now a part of Deakin University), all in Victoria, Australia. During 1981–82 he lectured at the Advanced College of Education, Minna, in [[Nigeria]].

	==~~Holocaust~~==		==Holohoax==
	Töben rejected what he called the "official conspiracy theory" that Germans systematically exterminated European jewry. He held that "the current U.S.A. government is influenced by world [[Zionist]] considerations to retain the survival of the European colonial, apartheid, Zionist, racist entity of [[Israel]]".<ref>''Antisemitism and ~~Holocaust~~ Denial in the Iranian Media, Special dispatch No. 855".

	At first he edited a revisionist journal called ''Truth Missions'', which was later renamed the ''Adelaide Institute Newsletter''. He then broadened out to establish Australia's revisionist website, the Adelaide Institute. He has personally visited the site of [[Auschwitz]] and burrowed under the ruins of the alleged gas chamber, being unable to find the four holes in the roof which were supposedly used to throw in gas pellets.

	In 2008, the German federal authorities attempted unsuccessfully to extradite Töben from the [[United Kingdom]], where he had transited while traveling, under a [[European Union]] arrest warrant, for allegedly publishing "antisemitic and/or revisionist" material on his website, which he writes from his home in Australia, and is a crime that does not exist in Britain. The English Magistrates Court in Westminster, London, dismissed his arrest warrant on October 29th. The case caused some controversy in the U.K., with the Liberal Democrats' Party Home Affairs spokesman Chris Huhne expressing concerns that the extradition would amount to an infringement on the freedom of speech.<ref>https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/liberaldemocrats/3133966/Chris-Huhne-Dont-extradite-alleged-~~Holocaust~~-denier-Frederick-Toben.html</ref> Also, British historian Geoffrey Alderman criticised Töben's arrest and the tendency "to enforce particular interpretations of history under the guise of 'combating racism and xenophobia'". According to him, "the task of the historian is to investigate, confront, challenge and, if necessary, correct society's collective memory. In this process, the state ought to have no role whatever, none at all. Certainly not in the UK, which delights in presenting itself as a bastion of academic freedom."<ref>https://www.thejc.com/denial-is-not-a-criminal-matter-1.5837</ref>		In 2008, the German federal authorities attempted unsuccessfully to extradite Töben from the [[United Kingdom]], where he had transited while traveling, under a [[European Union]] arrest warrant, for allegedly publishing "antisemitic and/or revisionist" material on his website, which he writes from his home in Australia, and is a crime that does not exist in Britain.

	Töben was subsequently arrested during an April 1999 visit to Prosecutor Klein in [[Mannheim]], Germany, for a private discussion on the ~~Holocaust~~ laws in Germany, which make it mandatory to accept all aspects of the ~~Holocaust~~ story. He was sentenced to 9 months imprisonment.<ref>Fredrick Töben https://codoh.com/library/authors/1460/</ref>		Töben was subsequently arrested during an April 1999 visit to Prosecutor Klein in [[Mannheim]], Germany, for a private discussion on the Holohoax laws in Germany, which make it mandatory to accept all aspects of the Holohoax story.

	Töben visited [[Iran]] in 2003 where he presented a speech denying the ~~Holocaust~~. In 2005 in an interview with Iranian state television he indicated that it was his belief that "Israel is founded on the ~~Holocaust~~ lie."

[but] to provide an appropriate scientific atmosphere for scholars to offer their opinions in freedom about a historical issue".
