The Australian’s Journey

The Australian’s Journey – In the restaurant of the hotel in which I am staying, I meet an attractive, nicely-dressed English-speaking man in his early 40’s and his female companion. They are touring Europe, viewing the remnants of the WWII and the Third Reich. During our conversation, he comments on being prohibited from accessing his favorite websites on his IPAD while travelling here in Germany. (Probably porn, I think to myself.) I am a WWII history buff and we avidly discuss the places they have visited. He hands me his IPAD, showing me his high quality, color ‘then and now’ photos of Albert Speer’s works. We discuss historical facts and while providing me with ‘valuable’ reading references, he mentions the name ‘Irving’. It is only then that I realize that he is travelling ‘on the dark side’. He is a Holocaust deny-er.
