Hear the One About the Holocaust Survivor Who Lived with Wolves…?

Aug 29, 2008 |

Well, it’s a load of wolf sh*t.

Author Misha Defonseca, who wrote a best-selling memoir about surviving the Holocaust by living with wolves, has snagged herself a one-way ticket to hell — by fabricating the entire story, including the minor detail of being, um, JEWISH and demanding a judge affirm a $32.4 million jury award (to be paid by the publisher) in her favor.

The jury had found the publisher failed to promote the book in the United States and hid profits (also very upstanding individuals); however, the jury sided with Mischa because, at the time, they believed Mischa’s harrowing tale of a tortured childhood was true.

All together now:  oy vey.

Mischa acknowledged earlier this year her stories of being taken in by wolves to escape the Nazis, killing a German soldier in self-defense, and walking across Europe in search of her parents were her own fantasies.  In fact, Mischa admitted she isn’t even Jewish.

Somewhere, Kevin Costner is exclaiming, Finally, my comeback project:  ‘Dances the Hora with Wolves’!”

CandyKirby.com’s literary sources say the publisher is considering changing the title of the book to “A Million Little Pieces.”

    What an accomplishment.

    The bitch managed to denigrate the Holocaust, Jewish people, the publishing industry, and wolves, all in one fell swoop.

    Yes, there is a special room in hell for her.
