الوصف Discusses the relationship between fiction and history in regard to the Holocaust. Notes the problem with fiction which claims to be true, when imposture "escapes the bounds of fiction and invades life"
it is then defined as a hoax. In this case, the imaginative creation generally permitted the author of fiction is immoral
"the argument for fictional autonomy collapses and the rights of history can begin to urge their own force." Also faults fictional works about the Holocaust, like "Sophie's Choice" by William Styron and "The Reader" by Bernhard Schlink, which (intentionally or not) deflect readers' attention from the destruction of the Jews of Europe and those responsible for it. (From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism - The Hebrew University of Jerusalem)
On the question of literary works which falsify history, relating to the Holocaust.
