Author admits making up memoir of surviving Holocaust - The Boston Globe reports:

“Eleven years after the publication of her best-selling Holocaust memoir - a heartwarming tale of a small Jewish girl trekking across Europe and living with wolves - the Massachusetts author yesterday admitted the whole story was a hoax.”

Read the full article - it’s fascinating. The fictionalizing author’s own story would have made a fascinating tale, so why lie?
