It's too bad that people feel the need to fantasize a bit about things. The story in its true state could have been romantic anyway. Nevertheless, you are fortunate that your company turned down the story...and I applaud you and your company for holding to your standards of publishing that which honors God and serves an 'out-of-this-world' purpose.

I was disappointed by this news as well. It was such a great story but the truth would have been compelling in it's own right.

How awful that the Rosenblats lied about their story and that the publishers and movie makers and Oprah didn’t figure it out. So sad.
Some Holocaust love stories are true. The NY Times featured a story about the famous comic book artists Stan Lee and Neal Adams and a story they were publicizing.
The story is about Dina Gottliebova Babbitt who was a 19 year old art student at Auschwitz. There she was asked by the Jewish head of the children's camp to paint something to cheer them up. Dina painted a mural of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and in the end, Dina's art became the reason for her salvation.
Painting the mural for the children caused Dina to be taken in front of Dr. Mengele, the Angel of Death. She thought she was going to be gassed, but she bravely stood up to Mengele and he decided to make her his portrait painter, saving herself and her mother from the gas chamber.
After the war, Dina applied for a job to be an animator and the person interviewing her turned out to be the man who created Snow White & the 7 Dwarfs for the movie. They fell in love and got married. Show White saved Dina's life twice!

@ Roy - well, that is quite a story! Sounds like a fairytale, but I still believe that these exceptional things do happen in real life!
