The Full Enchilada

Well, apparently, one good way to make some millions these days is to pick a Jewish ‘writing name’, make up a fantastic Holocaust story and pass it off as your true autobiography. Then just wait for the millions to roll in, well, that’s exactly what Misha Defonseca did! But now due to misunderstandings between Misha and publisher over share of profits, she admits that it was all made up, that her book “”Misha: A Memoire of the Holocaust Years” is nothing but fantasy, and in fact says that she is not even Jewish but that she ‘felt’ Jewish because she didn’t think she was treated well because her parents were Belgian resistance fighters. (Personally I can’t say I’m ‘that’ surprised she didn’t travel almost 2000 miles around Europe with a pack of wolves in search of her deported parents as stated in her book! Her parents were arrested, when she was 4, and she was raised by her grandfather and uncle, at least we hope this isn’t fantasy also. Her real name is Monique De Wael and she asks that everyone think of her as the 4 year-old girl who lost her parents, well, maybe if it was that 4-year old girl who wrote the book not deceitful adult going after millions of dollars.)

Well, anybody else feel like they’re Jewish “Holocaust survivors” because they had a hard life? Darn it, and to think, I could ‘a been a millionaire, well I’m out looking up potential Jewish names….
