A publisher has canceled a Holocaust memoir attacked by experts as a fake, reports Publishers Weekly. Angel at the Fence, which was promoted by Oprah Winfrey, purported to tell the story of Holocaust survivor Henry Rosenblat, who claimed he was saved by food tossed over a concentration camp fence by a young girl who later became his wife. Historians said such a situation could not have occurred. Rosenblat has been ordered to return money he received from Berkley Books.
