Heeb Magazine, always the edgy and not-your-mamma’s-Judaism kind of publication, has created a competition that is all at once offensive, intriguing, and thought provoking: a Fake Holocaust Memoir Competition Inspired by “fauxlocaust” survivor (Heeb’s well-constructed term) Binjamin Wilkomirski and his tear jerking but very false Holocaust memoir, “Memories of a Wartime Childhood 1939-1948” Heeb is soliciting creative readers to construct their very own torturous memoirs.
If after weighing the f***ed up-ness of the competition against the fact that it would be an incredibly interesting literary exercise, and decide that you want to submit an entry, the due date is April 1.
