Jane Daniel is the owner and manager of Mt. Ivy Press, which published Misha: A Mémoire of the Holocaust Years in 1997. After a law suit brought by Misha Defonseca, the author of the book, a Boston court ordered Daniel to pay Defonseca $22.5 million and took away Mt Ivy's copyright rights. ^[1] The book went on to become an international bestseller and the subject of a French feature film, Survivre avec les loups (Survival with Wolves). Ten years after this defeat Daniel began to write a book about the case and post it, chapter by chapter, on a blog. It was here that she formulated first doubts on the authenticity of the story. ^[2]. In February, 2008, Defonseca publicly confessed that her "memoire" was a fake. Together with Marc Metdepenningen, a Belgian journalist working for the newspaper Le Soir, Daniel was a driving force in the discovery of the hoax.
