This author must have gotten the idea for her book from him. And she seems to have run into the same kind of trouble.<BR/>Kozinski did indeed wander as a child alone through Nazi Europe, but a lot of what he wrote in "The Painted Bird" was imaginary or never happened to him. His book was a brilliant piece of prose; his mistake was not calling it a novel.Park Burroughshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17653759670285239020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137997322301347949.post-39986707509116169222008-03-03T17:56:00.000-05:002008-03-03T17:56:00.000-05:00People believe what they want to believe.Nazi's we...People believe what they want to believe.<BR/>Nazi's were evil and killed people. Thus, her story had to be true.<BR/>It's kind of like saying we have 400 million uninsured children – not really, but you get the point - in the U.S. Who would be against insuring children? Why bother to research the number. It sounds alarming enough, therefore it is believed without actually looking it up.Dale Lolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13089003781188560287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137997322301347949.post-806461117207983472008-03-03T10:09:00.000-05:002008-03-03T10:09:00.000-05:00One more example of sacrificing truth on the altar...One more example of sacrificing truth on the altar of self-aggrandizement.

Animal/Human symbiosis in the wild is more common than most people believe. One can start with the famous case of Amala and Kamala in India... who were raised for a considerable period of time by wolves. Even as late as the early 90's (1991), you see the case of John Ssebunya, the monkey boy of uganda, who lived amongst green African vervet monkeys. <BR/><BR/>So, the "dancing with wolves" part wouldn't be a tipoff... well, no, it would have been... it still sounds ridiculous.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17625405802643681157noreply@blogger.com
