This hoax is a tragedy especially now, when Bernie Madoff's have given Jewish good name a black eye. I am appalled to hear that the movie maker is still proceeding to make a movie based on this lie.

There are so many other worthwhile projects based on true love stories from the Holocaust like the one about Dina Gottliebova Babbitt - the beautiful young woman who painted Snow White and the Seven Dwarves on the children's barracks at Auschwitz - and after the liberation met and married the animator who did the original Disney movie. What a romantic love story.

I also love Dina's story because of her tremendous courage to paint the mural in the first place, which caused her to have to stand up to Dr. Mengele, the Angel of Death. She was so brave to stand up to Mengele and convince him to make her his portrait painter, saving herself and her mother from the gas chamber. Some of these paintings Dina did for Mengele survived the war and are at the Auschwitz Birkenau Museum, and the story of her painting the mural of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs on the children's barrack has been corroborated by many other Auschwitz prisoners, and of course her love and marriage to the animator of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs the Disney movie after the war in Paris is also documented, so Dina's story is true beyond any doubt. Why wasn't the Rosenblatt's story checked out before it was published and picked up to have the movie made??

I would like to see true and wonderful stories like Dina's be publicized, not these hoax tales that destroy credibility and trust.
