I guess I can write a book, make up the story, sell it as a true story, make millions and it will be ok. Now why didn't I think of that.

Well It didn't take long. On another WWII site The Denailists/Revisionist are crowing that this is another example of the Holocaust being a hoax.

I hate people like that. Falsely publicizing a "historical account" that basically spites real Jewish survivors and gives Neo-Nazis a new weapon in their arsenal.

For goodness sakes, there's something to be said for castration. The human race is stupid enough as it is without having people like her in the gene pool.

Thumbs down Re: Holocaust author admits lying

I recall a US television priest from the 1980´s who used the money in luxury houses, cars and whores, and once he was caught, he publicly cried and asked fogiveness on tv, and got even more money than before....

Sorry, don´t recall his name at the moment.
