Surviving with Wolves

The incredible true story of a 8-year-old Jewish girl from Brussels named Misha Defonseca (Mathilde Goffart). In the year 1941, Misha's parents are deported by the Nazis; left behind, she protects herself by seeking refuge with another Belgian family, but in time this also proves futile, and to escape detection and capture Misha hearkens off, by herself, into the European wilderness. Thus begins a 3,000 mile, four year journey across Europe, that finds this young girl subsisting on stolen crops and befriended by packs of wild wolves.

The Belgian author of the bestselling 1997 children's book Misha: A Memoire of the Holocaust Years, recently made into the film Surviving with Wolves, has revealed that the "autobiographical" story of her being raised by wolves during the Holocaust is made up.
