Appalling comment about the Holocaust by March for Australia protest leader is exposed – as details emerge about the suburban mum and the far-right lover by her side

The controversial organiser of the March for Australia rallies has sparked outrage after suggesting one of the most enduring accounts of the Holocaust – the diary of victim Anne Frank – was ‘bullsh**’. 

Bec Freedom, also known as Rebecca Walker, was a key organiser of the Sydney rally on Sunday. She gave a speech opposing mass immigration to Australia – and complained about being the subject of ‘racist’ abuse herself. 

Walker, 36, copped criticism for the large neo-Nazi contingent from the National Socialist Network organisation that marched at the front of the rally and whose representatives made speeches during an ‘open mic’ session. 

Now the Daily Mail can reveal Walker has come under fire from a leading Jewish community figure for a comment she made prior to the protests on an X Spaces chat on August 1.

In the livestreamed conversation, Walker recounted thinking that her late father, Peter George Walker, was a ‘racist bast**d’ when he told her as a high school student that Frank’s diary was fabricated. 

‘Do you know what’s funny? I used to love Anne Frank’s diary in high school, right? I f***ing loved it,’ she said.  

‘And my dad – God bless him, he’s no longer here – he told me it was bulls**t, and I was like, “you racist bastard, you can’t say that, I’m learning about it and its true, I’ve cried reading this book”.

‘If my dad is listening right now, Dad, I’m sorry I’m fricken’ sorry, you were right, I should have listened, my bad,’ she said. 

Holocaust deniers have long peddled the conspiracy theory that Frank’s diary was a forgery. 

Asked about her comments, Walker told the Daily Mail: ‘The comments made about Anne Frank’s diary was made in jest.

‘I’m not a Nazi sympathiser, I’m just a staunch free speech advocate’. 

Walker has previously claimed comments also made in a leaked X Spaces conversation, where she said ‘we need to see violence’ similar to the Cronulla riots in 2005, were out of context. She also apologised for what she said. 

‘We need violence, I’m sorry, but we need f**king violence,’ she was heard saying.

‘We’ve done peaceful, peaceful hasn’t done s**t. I don’t think that anything significant is going to change unless something like that does happen again. Until we stand up and do something like that day I think it’s just going to be repeating.’

Dvir Abramovich, chairman of the Anti-Defamation Commission, denounced Walker’s comments. 

‘To drag Anne Frank’s legacy into this swamp… is to spit on her grave and on the suffering of six million Jews,’ he said.

‘These are not slips of the tongue. These are declarations of allegiance to the darkest ideologies on Earth. 

‘When the organiser of a rally in our streets … denies the testimony of Anne Frank, we are not talking about patriotism, we are talking about extremism that can end in tragedy.’

Anne Frank was just 15-years-old when she died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, months after she was discovered hiding in a secret annex in Amsterdam.

Her diary, written in fountain pen and pencil, was discovered after the war, and has become one of the most powerful and enduring personal accounts of the Holocaust. 

In the 1980s, the Netherlands Forensic Institute ‘convincingly demonstrated’ the works were written by Frank between 1942 and 1944. 

Rallies took place on Sunday in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Hobart, as well as some regional cities, to protest the country’s record levels of immigration. 

In Sydney, a crowd of about 15,000 demonstrators chanted ‘send them back’. About 150 members of the NSN also handed out flyers, made a speech to the crowd and led chants of ‘Heil Australia’.

NSN leader Tom Sewell said in a speech during the Melbourne protest that the two groups that made up the anti-immigration march should unify because they were all united in their opposition to mass migration. 

After acknowledging his own group was controversial, he told the crowd it was the NSN that had defended the ‘Aussie flag’ against ‘the Palestinians and the communists’. 

While leading the large protest movement and creating content for a living, Walker is also a mother of at least two children who is in a romantic relationship with activist Jesse Stewart, another of the march’s organisers. 

A bystander at the protest described Stewart, who describes himself as a nationalist, as ‘quite an aggressive protector’ of Bec at the rally. 

He gave a speech at the rally where he warned of a ‘global agenda to replace people with Anglo-Celtic heritage’ and has since hit out at media outlets Sky News and 2GB, claiming ‘now that they’ve seen how much of a success (the rally) was they all want to kiss the ring’. 

The pair welcomed a son, William in October last year with Ms Walker stating she kept her pregnancy a secret due to online trolls.

‘We are absolutely in love with him, Jesse is loving been a dad, I’m loving been a mum to a new baby, and my children are loving having a new baby brother,’ she shared in an Instagram post.

‘Why did we keep it such a big secret? Simply put…. We didn’t want troll interference. They post about everything we do and we didn’t want their involvement in this.’
