SYDNEY (JTA) -- Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi Germany were apparently subjected by the Australian army to medical experimentation during World War II, according to a Australian newspaper report Monday.

The refugees who participated in the experiments, conducted at the request of British and U.S. drug companies seeking a cure for malaria, were volunteers for the Australian army who were not permitted to see active duty.

Australian arrested for hateful Web site

SYDNEY (JTA) -- An Australian resident who maintains a Web site devoted to promoting Holocaust-denial and other anti-Semitic slurs has been arrested in Germany and charged with criminal incitement, according to media releases issued by his colleagues.

Fredrick Toben was visiting the southwestern German city of Mannheim earlier this month when he was reportedly arrested because of the content of his Adelaide Institute Internet site, which can be accessed in Germany, where Holocaust-denial is a punishable crime.

Toben had published an article on his Web site saying he was going to Germany to "challenge the German ban on denying the Nazi genocide of Jews."
