Arbeit macht frei: - Fredrick Töben

2007, and comply with the undertaking you gave to Moore J on 27
November 2007, you cannot, in the future, publish information or
material which conveys the following imputations, or any of them:
That there is a serious doubt that the Holocaust occurred; that it is
unlikely that there were homicidal gas chambers at Auschwitz; that Jewish
people who are offended by and challenge Holocaust denial are of limited
intelligence, and some Jewish people, for improper purposes, including
financial gain, have exaggerated the number of Jews killed during World
War II and the circumstances in which they were killed.
Do you accept that you cannot publish any information which conveys
those imputations?

MR MARGO: I’m sorry, your Honour.
HIS HONOUR: In what way do the orders not make sense?
Dr Töben: Because they are so broad that to be limiting – they are so
broad they catch everything. It reaches the point to this morning.
Apparently Mr – if I may say this, your Honour – Mr Margo brings this
front page and says, ‘This is evidence of something,’ and here am I just
printing this and -…
MR MARGO: But you’re misunderstanding, Dr Toben. Mr Margo is not
putting forward the document, exhibit A, this morning as evidence of
breach of the orders?
Dr Töben: No, but I’m indicating …
MR MARGO: No, no, but listen, listen. He’s putting it forward as
evidence of your attitude?
Dr Töben: I understand that, but I’m saying now, this is my problem.
MR MARGO: Well …?
Dr Töben: I accept this problem and, therefore, I will submit to
censorship.
MR MARGO: Well, then can I ask you this question? You say the orders
are confusing and you’re unable to understand them. What is it about the
