Misha Defonseca’s Holocaust survival story is incredible, beyond belief.
At the age of seven, in Nazi-occupied Belgium, she trudged through a forest and kept herself alive by joining a pack of wolves that protected and provided her with scraps of food.
In 1997, Defonseca’s memoirs, Misha: A Memoire of the Holocaust Years, was published and became a bestseller in Europe. An eponymous 2007 French-language movie, Survivre Avec les Loups, featuring reenactments of her astonishing adventure, enhanced her image as an extraordinary survivor.
ACRONYMS ARE ANTI-BLACKRONYMS
WTF OMG SMH. It’s only February and already the people who do the stuff that makes you say, “It
can’t get any stupider than
this” have gone and done something stupider than this. Yes, the leftist guardians of social justice and racial “equity” (get used to that word; it’s gonna be drilled into your skull like an orbitoclast for the next four years) have decided that, in their never-ending quest to label non-racist things as racist, acronyms are now the product of “white supremacy.”
Like so many plagues, this one started in that storied California town where the streets are paved with poo San Francisco. Last week the San Francisco Unified School District declared that its arts department, VAPA (Visual and Performing Arts), must no longer be known by that acronym, because acronyms are “racist.”
‘Misha And The Wolves’ Review: Sundance Documentary Recounts A Woman’s Holocaust Tale Too Amazing To Be True Deadline 1/31/2021
The gripping Sundance documentary
Misha and the Wolves, premiering at the festival today, possesses a fairy tale-like quality, beginning with its title. Those four words evoke ancient stories of children deep in the woods, threatened by menacing animals, as in Little Red Riding Hood.
The similarities go further. The documentary tells the story of Misha Defonseca, a woman living inMassachusetts who purported to be a Holocaust survivor. She told neighbors a remarkable tale of growing up a young Jewish girl in Belgium during the war, saying she was secreted with a Catholic family after her parents were deported. She said her foster parents hated her (i.e., like Cinderella with her wicked stepmother).
