    Officials at Levitt Weinstein Eternal Light Funeral Service say Herman Rosenblat died Feb. 5, and was buried Feb. 8 in Hollywood, Florida. He was 85.

    In 2008 Berkley Books cancelled Rosenblat’s memoir, “Angel at the Fence,” after he acknowledged he and his wife of 50 years did not meet — as they said for years — at a sub-camp of Buchenwald, where she allegedly sneaked him food.

    Historical records show Rosenblat was indeed imprisoned at Buchenwald and other camps. However, the love story was discredited following allegations by scholars, friends and family members that it was untrue.

    Rosenblat lived in North Miami Beach with his wife Roma.

    Maybe he had an address in North Miami Beach But he didn’t actually live there.

    maybe he was not lying
    it is possible that he survived by imagining the tale he later told.

    What’s the point in rehashing an embarrassing story of a holocaust survivor? Did that become the most important detail of his life? May he rest in peace. יהי זכרו ברוך
