And lastly, my favorite one was called "Night", if you've never read it before I would highly recommend it but it is quite sad. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_(book) )
Was forced to read that too. It was confirmed that Eli Wiesel made up the story and that he was never even at Buchenwald. Several actual prisoners at the work camp confirmed that he wasn't there. The book itself borrows heavily from other "historical" fiction books written about that period to the point of plagiarism. If you've ever seen the movie Schindler's List, most of that movie is fake as well, especially the portrayal of Amon Leopold Goeth, as some bloodthirsty savage who raped Jewish women and just shot prisoners from the balcony of his home. That was also taken from a "historical" fiction novel as well. I don't remember the titles of the books but they're in a book I'm currently reading so I'll get back to you on the titles.
For whatever reason, both works of fiction have come to be accepted as factual evidence and the portrayal of Goeth in Schindler's List has been used as "historical" footage of Goeth. The actor wasn't Goeth. The actor didn't even get Goeth right.
I'll stop here though because I'm sure I'll get banned for taking it any further.
I didn't hear that the book turned out to be made up!
I was never a big fan of Night anyways, but it would still be disappointing if it actually was all just fiction.
