Title: A touching story, but is it all true?
Review: The recent allegations against the truthfulness of Binjamin Wilkomirski's "Fragments" should make us hesitate to accept this story as completely nonfictional. It is hardly surprising that a tragedy of the magnitude of the Holocaust will inspire some accounts which are either fabricated or embroidered in ways that will appeal to a wide public. It is not impossible that Misha Defonseca survived alone in the woods, but improbable that she was adopted by wolves as she claims. There are much better books for people who want to know what happened to children in the Holocaust. I recommend books by Eva Kor, Magda Denes, Cordelia Edvardson and Livia Jackson.
