Abstract

The article presents information on the book "Fragments: Memories of a Wartime Childhood," by Binjamin Wilkomirski. Raising consciousness about children's vulnerability to trauma and loss has been one of leading projects, and its recognition of Wilkomirski's work on children's memories of the Holocaust comes amid a tightening media vise from the New York Times to 60 Minutes on his alleged fraud. Some of Wilkomirski's readers, untroubled by issues of factual truth and deeply moved by his talent in immersing himself in the child survivor's experience, may simply accept the memoir as a novel.
