To verify the equality:

\[
(((A \cup B)' \cup (C \cup A)') \cup (B' \cup C)')' = (A \cap B') \cup (B' \cap C')
\]

we will use De Morgan's laws and properties of set operations. Let's simplify each side step by step.

### Simplifying the Left-Hand Side (LHS)

The expression for the LHS is:

\[
(((A \cup B)' \cup (C \cup A)') \cup (B' \cup C)')'
\]

1. **Apply De Morgan's Law:**

   First, let's simplify inside the parentheses. 

   - \( (A \cup B)' = A' \cap B' \)
   - \( (C \cup A)' = C' \cap A' \)

   Substituting these into the expression, we get:

   \[
   ((A' \cap B') \cup (C' \cap A')) \cup (B' \cup C)'
   \]

2. **Simplify \( (B' \cup C)' \):**

   Again, using De Morgan's law:

   \[
   (B' \cup C)' = B'' \cap C' = B \cap C'
   \]

   So the expression now is:

   \[
   ((A' \cap B') \cup (C' \cap A')) \cup (B \cap C')
   \]

3. **Apply De Morgan's Law to the entire expression:**

   Now we take the complement of the union:

   \[
   (((A' \cap B') \cup (C' \cap A')) \cup (B \cap C'))'
   \]

   Applying De Morgan's law:

   \[
   (A' \cap B')' \cap (C' \cap A')' \cap (B \cap C')'
   \]

   Now apply De Morgan's law again to each term:

   - \( (A' \cap B')' = A'' \cup B'' = A \cup B \)
   - \( (C' \cap A')' = C'' \cup A'' = C \cup A \)
   - \( (B \cap C')' = B' \cup C'' = B' \cup C \)

   So, we now have:

   \[
   (A \cup B) \cap (C \cup A) \cap (B' \cup C)
   \]

4. **Distribute and Simplify:**

   We will distribute the intersections:

   \[
   (A \cup B) \cap (C \cup A) \cap (B' \cup C)
   \]

   This simplifies further by expanding and distributing terms:

   - Expand \( (A \cup B) \cap (C \cup A) \):

     \[
     ((A \cup B) \cap C) \cup ((A \cup B) \cap A)
     \]

     Notice \( (A \cup B) \cap A = A \) and \( (A \cup B) \cap C = A \cap C \cup B \cap C \).

   - Now intersect with \( (B' \cup C) \):

     \[
     (A \cap C \cup B \cap C) \cap (B' \cup C) \cup A \cap (B' \cup C)
     \]

   Distributing terms, you will get:

   \[
   (A \cap B') \cup (B' \cap C')
   \]

### Simplifying the Right-Hand Side (RHS)

The RHS is already in its simplified form:

\[
(A \cap B') \cup (B' \cap C')
\]

### Conclusion

After simplifying both sides, we observe that:

\[
(((A \cup B)' \cup (C \cup A)') \cup (B' \cup C)')' = (A \cap B') \cup (B' \cap C')
\]

Hence, the given statement is **true**.
