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.

Dances with wolves! This is a howler!
laughing...
Thanks for the Birdman linkage - a ton of reading to be done there.
Swindlers' List...Yahoo!News keeps a "Nazi Gold News Archive." Holocaus t Issues: News Stories Ten pages !
More and more, I wonder about the holocaust. I remember as a kid learning about it in school. The number just kept growing and growing. Now it's up to something like 6 million people died that were Jews, where as there were nearly 14 million other people slaughtered by the Nazis who Weren't.
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.
When I was a child, I found a paperback book on the shelf called "I Survived Hitler's Ovens". It was by Olga Lengyl. It gave excruciating accounts of a concentration camp. I asked my parents if they had ever known anyone who was in a concentration camp. They told me that a friend of our family, a Dutch-born doctor, had been in one. Incidentally, he was not Jewish.
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.
There's lack of knowledge, and then there's belief in things that are false. The thing that bothers me is that the idiots, particularly the ones on freerepublic, are the ones who talk (and type) the most.
The extermination of 6-million Jews by the Nazis during World War Two was demographically and scientifically impossible. The Swiss Red Cross issued a document in 1946 that estimated between half-a-million and one and one-half- million Jews perished in the war, mostly from disease and starvation toward the end of the war, when allied bombing had all but destroyed the transportation and supply networks in Europe.
