I am very interested to know how librarians have handled the dilemma regarding the book FRAGMENTS, MEMORIES OF A WARTIME CHILDHOOD, by Binjamin Wilkomerski. I didn't know this book was in our collection but it was apparently a long-lost book that was just returned and so I am confronted with it.
Those of you who know the title certainly recall the controversy surrounding it - Truth? False? A Hoax? An Abomination? -- but what to do with the actual book. My strong personal inclination is to remove it from my collection altogether, but if not, what to call it? Fiction? That feels offensive to me; it was written as a child's memoir. How have other synagogue and school librarians dealt with this title? Many thanks, Amy Turim Temple Emanuel Kensington, MD
