Here is an example of an embellished Holocaust story, It appeared in yesterday's Wall Street Journal.

Authors Win $32.4 Million Judgement

"A Massachusetts State Court has ordered a defunct publishing firm to pay $32.4 million in damages to the authors of a controversial Holocaust memoir ( Memior of the Holocaust Years) for failing to live up to its marketing promises."

"The book has created a stir among Holocaust scholars, with some readers wondering whether to believe the author's story. As chronicled in the book, Ms. Misha Levy Defonseca, ran away from the home of a Belgium family who took her in after her parents were arrested by the Nazis. She then wandered through forests and several countries in Europe in search of her parents. Part of the time, Ms. Defonseca writes, she was cared for by wolves."

Mr. Varn, her attorney, said that some of the book's details may seem extraordinary but the author is stands by her story.
