Tarzan-like woman outrageously claims she survived the Holocaust with the help of a pack of wolves.
A court victory for a Massachusetts woman who sued the publisher of her memoir about surviving the Holocaust with the help of a pack of wolves, who protected her and gave her food.
The author, Misha Defonseca (pictured), lost her home even after the book about her harrowing childhood during World War Two became a best-seller overseas.
Defonseca sued the publisher, Mount Ivy Press, and its founder, Jane Daniel, for breach of contract in 1998. They accused Daniel of keeping royalties that belonged to them and hiding the money in offshore accounts.
Defonseca's book, Misha: A Memoire of the Holocaust Years, tells the story of how Nazis seized her parents when she was 7 years old. Defonseca says she wandered the forests of Europe for four years, killed a Nazi soldier in self-defense and was "adopted" by a pack of wolves.

I note that this judgment came out of a suit which was not a personal injury suit, but a breach of contract suit. I know this is off-topic, but I'd just like to point out that "tort reform" rhetoric therefore does not apply to this large judgment. But I'm sure that won't stop the ignorami of freerepubic from spouting off about the amount of the judgment.

Let's face it the lack of knowledge in America today, not just Free(sic)Republic, is rampant. Compare the grammar school books from 1900s to those of today's college textbooks.
