Herman A. Rosenblat, born in Poland in 1929, was a Jewish Holocaust survivor who emigrated to the United States in 1950 and later wrote the Holocaust survival memoir Angel at the Fence. The book was planned to be published in 2009 by Berkely books, but was cancelled after it turned out that many elements of the story were fabricated and some were contrary to verifiable historical facts. Rosenblat admitted lying about the key details of his memoir. Before the fabrication became public, the film rights to the book were purshased for $25 million by Harris Salomon of Atlantic Overseas Pictures. Other fans of the story include Oprah Winfrey who has described it as the single greatest love story she heard 22 years of doing her show. The story behind the story is being developed as an independent feature film.
