Misha: A Mémoire of the Holocaust Years
''Misha: A Mémoire of the Holocaust Years'' is a literary hoax by Misha Defonseca, first published in 1997. The book was fraudulently published as a memoir telling the supposed true story of how the author survived The Holocaust as a young Jewish girl, wandering Europe searching for her deported parents. The book sold well in several countries and was made into a movie, ''Survivre avec les loups'' (''Surviving with the Wolves''), named after the claim that Misha was adopted by a pack of wolves during her journey who protected her.
However, in February 2008, Defonseca publicly admitted what many had already suspected, that her book was false. Her real name was Monique de Wael; while her parents were in fact taken away by the Nazis, they were not Jews but Roman Catholic members of the Belgian Resistance, and she did not leave her home during the war, as the book claims. In a statement released through her lawyers to the Brussels newspaper ''Le Soir'', de Wael attempted to defend the hoax, claiming that the story of "Misha" "is not actual reality, but was my reality, my way of surviving" and that there were moments when she "found it difficult to differentiate between what was real and what was part of my imagination."
==The real author, Monique de Wael==
(詳細はEtterbeek, Belgium, to Robert De Wael and Josephine Donvil. The exact date is given differently by different sources: May 12 (according to a baptismal record)〔Eskin, Blake. "(Crying Wolf: Why did it take so long for a far-fetched Holocaust memoir to be debunked? )", Slate.com, February 29, 2008.〕 or September 2 (according to records from the school Monique attended in the year 1943-44.)〔"(Le vrai dossier de 'Misha' )" (French)〕 Her family was not Jewish but Catholic, and her parents were members of the Belgian resistance, which led to them being arrested by the Nazis on September 23, 1941.〔 Nazi records indicate that Robert de Wael was executed on May 3 or 4 of 1944, and Donvil died sometime between February 1 and December 31 of 1945.〔
According to de Wael’s February 2008 statement, her guardianship went first to her grandfather Ernest de Wael, and then to her uncle Maurice de Wael. De Wael says that other than her grandfather, those who took her in treated her badly, including calling her “the traitor’s daughter” because her father was suspected of having given information under torture in St. Gilles prison.〔 She remained with her uncle’s family, and did not go off in search of her missing parents as “Misha” did, but according to her statement, this time with her uncle’s family was when she began to “feel Jewish” and to fantasize about going off with the wolves.〔
