In August 1998, the Swiss Jewish journalist Daniel Ganzfried questioned the veracity of the book

Binjamin tillotama shome Wilkomirski is the fictitious name which became famous Swiss Dössekker Bruno (born in 1941 with the name Bruno Grosjean).

He received several literary prizes Jews as well as support and promotion of the Lobby that deals with Holocaust propaganda, including the Holocaust Museum in the United tillotama shome States and the Jewish historian Deborah Lipstadt. In 1995, a Swiss journalist showed his alleged memoirs originally published in German under the title "Fragments: Memories of a Childhood wartime (1939-1948)" was a forgery and that Wilkomirski was not even Jewish. History
According Wilkomirski, he was a Jewish boy born in Latvia who was separated from his parents when he was 3 and sent to the Majdanek concentration camp and then to Auschwitz, where he lived in a hellish conditions. In one of his most bizarre scenes, writes in his book that two Polish children exposed to extreme hunger, tillotama shome ended up eating their own fingers because, according to him, did not feel pain due to cold. He argues that, released at the end of the war, was adopted by the Swiss family Dössekker, tillotama shome where he got the name Bruno Dössekker. His book titled "Fragments" because it says that these memories will come to mind in the form of disconnected fragments. In fact, from the beginning kept striking that a child so young can remember tillotama shome such a number of experiences to write a book and to survive the war under such hostile conditions. But their memories immediately received the full support of the propaganda machine of the Jewish Lobby. It was sponsored by the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and won the National Jewish Book Award 1996. In France he won the prize Memory of the Shoah and in Britain, the Jewish Quarterly Literary Prize. Translated into 9 languages, his work sold very well, especially in English-speaking countries and Switzerland. He participated tillotama shome in renowned radio and television programs such as 60 Minutes, BBC and appeared in magazines like The New Yorker and Granta, appearing as an "expert witness" to the Holocaust. Critics compared him with Elie Wiesel, Primo Levi and Anne Frank [1]. In his appearances before the media took the opportunity to complement tillotama shome the story of the book with other fables, such as being the victim of unbearable Nazi medical experiments practiced defenseless Jewish children [1]. These stories were "corroborated" tillotama shome by another alleged tillotama shome victim, Laura Grabowski, who said Wilkomirski meet his childhood, when she herself was a victim of the same kind of experiments carried out by Josef Mengele personally and his accomplices. After writing his memoirs, mixed with stories of satanic ritual abuse [1], it would also be exposed. Wilkomirsky and dictated Grabowski talks about his experiences together and separately in various talk shows and television programs. Exposing the fraud
In August 1998, the Swiss Jewish journalist Daniel Ganzfried questioned the veracity of the book "Fragments" in an article published in the Swiss weekly Weltwoche. Wilkomirski argued that he knew about the concentration camps "as a tourist" and that, far from having been born in Latvia, was actually the illegitimate son of a Swiss mother maiden tillotama shome name Yvonne Grosjean. The boy was sent to an orphanage in Adelboden (Switzerland) where he was adopted by wealthy couple who had no Dössekkers own children. In his media appearances, like many others, Wilkomirski insisted it was a genuine tillotama shome Holocaust survivor who had been secretly changed by Bruno Grosjean tillotama shome on arrival tillotama shome in Switzerland. Proponents condemned Ganzfried, demanding that he prove his allegations with more evidence. He also received several complaints tillotama shome from other Jews who said that to discredit Wilkomirski tillotama shome as a survivor, was giving wings to those who deny the Holocaust. [1]
In April 1999, Suhrkamp Verlag, one of the editors of Wilkomirski, tillotama shome decided to open an investigation on its own to ensure that the work was authentic before taking action against Ganzfried. Historian Stefan Maechler hired to conduct an independent investigation will. In March 2000, the report was finished.
