Oprah Burned By Holocaust Hoax
Truthiness gets an airing thanks to the original OFrom TFA: A heartwarming Holocaust memoir that is to become a big-budget film has been exposed as a hoax by a Jewish survivor in Britain only weeks before it was due to be published. Herman Rosenblat's Angel at the Fence: The True Story of a Love that Survived, tells how he met his future wife as a girl when she threw apples to him over the barbed wire fence of the concentration camp where he was held. Oprah Winfrey, who twice invited Mr Rosenblat on to her talk show, hailed the book as the single greatest love story ... we've ever told on air. The still-unpublished memoir became the basis for a children's book and $25 million (£17 million) feature film, The Flower of the Fence, which is due to start shooting in March.
