Arbeit macht frei: - Fredrick Töben

officers wrote in red biro my number #160026 and cell number G1:6, and
stamped receipt of the card on 17 August PM. I was to receive this card 5
days later, on 22 August when I had just been transferred out of G Division
into Cell 18, E Division.
Christopher’s choice of card expresses his dry sense of humour:
Happiness In Your New Home
To:- my ever-active friend Gerald Fredrick TÖBEN
May you find
more joys in store
Each time you step
inside your door!
(especially a lengthy mental and physical rest!)
Every happiness
Always
From:- Christopher Steele
I hope the above salutations correctly register your current
circumstances.
Keep me informed of any needs you require – you know, stamps, paper,
biros, etc.
Anyone engaged in what we are on about is foolish to think this is an
individual’s game only. Of course, when it comes to the crunch I have to do
the time, alone, in my cell and be comfortable within my own mind’s
reflections, but that comes with the territory and it is a duty gladly taken up.
Yet it is the number of individuals behind the scene that sustain me through
these challenging times – and although I am now a veteran in this matter, it
still requires making adjustments because, ‘subtly’, as the Qantas crew
instructions to passengers about to take off reminds us, every time you fly
you sit in a different seat, and every time I am imprisoned I am in a
different cell.
David Brockschmidt’s packages to CTC flood me with information. No
wonder my mail fills a wash basket. In particular he sends copies of
Quadrant, a magazine that is supposed to be politically right wing. In the
October 2009 edition there is Mervyn Bendle’s article: ‘The History Wars
and the Holocaust’. The author is Senior Lecturer in History and
Communications at James Cook University, which recently banned
Professor Ian Plimer from addressing a meeting there on the climate
change hoax!
