Gerald Fredrick Töben (born 2 June 1944) is a German-born Australian citizen and founder and former director of the Adelaide Institute. He is the author of numerous works on education, political science, and history, although he became best known after for Holocaust denial (he is the founder of the Adelaide Institute, a web and print publication that questions the Holocaust), inciting racial hatred, and being arrested and imprisoned for nine months in Mannheim Prison in 1998 for breaching Germany's Holocaust Law (§ 130 public incitement) prohibiting anyone from defaming the dead. Toben wrote of his work: "If you wish to begin to doubt the Holocaust-Shoah narrative, you must be prepared for personal sacrifice, must be prepared for marriage and family break-up, loss of career, and go to prison." In the past he had denied that he said that the Holocaust was a "lie".
