Oprah Adds Disclaimer to Site About Fake Holocaust Love Story

Posted on January 8, 2009

As part of the fallout over the fake Holocaust love story, Angel at the Fence, Oprah Winfrey has added a disclaimer about the book on her site.

"On December 27, 2008, Herman Rosenblat admitted to fictionalizing portions of his life story, including how he met his wife. Based on this admission, the publisher of his forthcoming memoir — Angel at the Fence — canceled plans to print his book."

Oprah had discussed the book as part of her "Great Love Stories" feature. The whole thing turned out to be a fake and the author's upcoming appearance on the show has been canceled, not surprisingly. But still...this is the second time an author has conned the talk show host. It's a wonder she hasn't dropped her book club entirely.
