The Evidence - YOU DECIDE!
On the 19th July 1996, Bernard Freedman, who writes the 'Canberra File' in the Australian Jewish News had an item headlined, "New Crude Attempt at a Holocaust Denial". He wrote, "Holocaust denial is not new but a new, crude, Australian-made attempt is now in circulation. It takes the form of an open letter Prime Minister John Howard, by someone calling himself Alexander McClelland and claiming to be secretary of the small Fortress Association of ex-POWs of Terezin Concentration Camp."

Would Bernard Freedman call the following crude Australian attempts?

* The Australian 9th Division that held Tobruk against Rommel's attacks?
* The Australian 9th Division who led the successful attack in the battle of El Alamein, in which one third of all the casualties were Australian ?
* The Australians of 2/1 and 2/11 Battalion, that successfully defended Rethymon on Crete. Unfortunately the English troops evacuated Heraklion and Chania leaving the Australians, under the command of Colonel Ian Campbell to fight on. UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill had promised the Australian Prime Minister that the Rethymon force would be taken off at Agia Galina, an impossible promise.

Lt. Davies (Australian) was awarded the George Cross for being in charge of a bomb disposal unit which diffused a one ton bomb, which could have destroyed St Pauls Cathedral in London during the Blitz. Over 8,000 Australian Air Force members, and in all 11,544 Australian Volunteers lost their lives fighting Nazi Germany so that democracy might survive.

It is obvious that Bernard Freedman seems to be unaware of Australian sacrifices in the European theatre of WW11. Where was he at that the time in history?

On the 10th February 1995 Bernard Freedman claimed, "There was a self-evident double standard, in the implication that Jewish Holocaust victims and survivors could not be believed", unlike the cruelty and privations suffered by Australian POWs in Japanese hands in Changi and other POW camps on the Burma railway.

Bernard Freedman, it is quite simple. The facts are that Australian servicemen claimed that they were beaten and starved, and that some were beheaded. By cross checking survivors' stories these allegations were proven to be correct. Where as Jewish survivors had countless, very dubious, stories of Nazi brutality, which I have found upon checking to not be irrefutable, mostly just pure fiction.
