    More on Herman Rosenblat

    Posted Wednesday, December 31, 2008 12:36 PM | By Juliet Lapidos
    Melinda, Herman Rosenblat may not need a lecture from us, but perhaps he needs one from fellow survivors. If he'd written a memoir about how he kept his sanity by imagining a girl tossing apples at him, that'd be one thing. And if he were delusional, I'd cut him more slack. But from Gabe Sherman's account in The New Republic, he was fully aware of the fact that he was fabricating a story and had a great time on Oprah! It's not just his fabrication that bothers me, but the content of his fabrication. There was no young love, or apples, at Schlieben. To suggest otherwise (and here I'm paraphrasing one of Sherman's sources) is to deny the substance and reality of the Holocaust.
