Angel at the Fence

The book, written by Herman Rosenblat, claims to recount his experience as a teenage boy during the Holocaust at Schlieben, a sub-division of the Buchenwald concentration camp.

It tells the story of a nine-year-old Jewish girl who, posing as a Christian, met Rosenblat at the electrified perimeter fence and passed him food for seven months.

The story also includes their supposed reunion and marriage years later.

However, the central events of the book were exposed as fabrications, leading to the cancellation of its publication.

Despite this, the book gained significant attention due to its emotional and seemingly true narrative, which was later debunked by Holocaust scholars and researchers.
