From what I’ve gotten, dan seems suspicious that this book is potentially a fictional fabrication and has been posting a good many anonymous tip-offs he’s gotten. Recently, he was apparently told to cease his research.

What?  You’re speaking gibberish, woman.  Use plain and proper English!

second letter from you know who:

Fact: you are not part of our effort.

Fact: you have already interfered with our effort by writing Sterling Literistic.

Go away.

THIRD LETTER:

Barry did not “hire” you; he made a mistake contacting you; none of us want you participating.

OOPS: I think I have been disinvited to that party they invited me to. Sh*t happens. Go figure. No, don’t.

I think I’m way past confused.

I think I’m way past confused.

Basically, it seems to be a case where some people doubt the story but don’t actually have anything in particular that they can say is false about it.  And then there is ambiguity over whether they don’t have any evidence against it, or whether they have the evidence and are simply withholding it until the right time. . .whenever that may be.

So currently, there is nothing against the story’s being a reasonably accurate compilation of a guy’s memories, and we’re waiting to see if this anonymous group of people will reveal any evidence of falsehood in the future.

Someone wrote to Professor X? Cool, how’re the X-men?

Seriously, who is this Californian researcher?

And if those researchers haven’t read the book, that kind of detracts from their credibility on the subject. I mean, it’s like that one woman insisting Harry Potter taught Satanism and she never read it.

ZeldaQueen,
My mistake. That calif researcher is a man who read the book and saw the 60 minutes TV show about it too. he will be posting here soon. This is real. The Professor X thing was just to protect the ID of someone who might not wanted to be IDed here now, but she/he will be later. That professor is also looking into this hoax now.

The Mascot simply flew past the radar when it was published. But i think, according to news tip I am getting, that this is another book that should have been labeled as FICTION , not NON-FICTION. I think there are many huge gaping holes in the story. Watch this screen. The man doing the major research on this, will be posting soon and HOPEFULLY, Alex the webmaster will do a new UPDATE after he sees this new info…......Already major news agencies in the USA are looking into the posisble hoax here…..DEVELOPING, as Matt Drudge would say.

Haha, I was surfing the internet and I just HAD to make an account to reply to this…
“That calif researcher is a man” A man, got that? “but she/he will be later.” she/he…? I just wanted to point out this one example that you really are just another try-hard who thinks everything is a hoax (I’m not saying it isn’t a hoax). But you’re obviously just trying to sound smart and educated by using ‘complex terminology’, think you’re ‘in the loop’ don’t you… “news tip” “major agencies” Didn’t you know? the FBI is into story hoaxes now >.>
Reply if you want, but i don’t think I’ll make my way to this webiste again. Like I said, just browsing.

Oh, one more thing, “The book is badly written and full of holes.” I’d be more worried if the story was perfectly written and with good flow. This guy isn’t an author, and the gaps are most likely gaps in his memory. he was only 5 right? I can’t remember much from back then.

I too surfed onto this thread and have signed on only to post probably this one time..

I have read this book and believe Alex’s story!!!

Being Jewish or not isn’t the most important thing and considering what life has handed Alex thus far including the loss of his first family, adopted family also his losing his wife and now Marky too, we first owe him respect and admiration also understanding before criticism!.

Even though some details of Alex’s story are no doubt missing and even if anything recalled is hazy, I do not feel this was on purpose by Alex or Mark and again being Jewish or not doesn’t make the story untrue..

Seriously some here who’ve posted above seem normal and able to look at facts from both sides but others seem somehow vindictive and portraying the idea that those who mention their suffering of the Holocaust but aren’t Jewish must be lying and/or need to keep quiet?.

Jewish, Latvian, Russian, German, American or whatever…who cares as the PERSON, the life they led and decisions they made are what’s important, not what bloodline you are/were?. 

Everyone please have a happy day!.
