This is a dangerouse thread. I dont want to damage the reputation of great people, unless there is evidence to refute " who they claim to be".
So how about a list of " great" people that may be imposters.
One:-Elie Wiesel: The most famouse Holocaust survivor. Nobel peace prize winner amoung his thosands of humanitarian awards.
Was he ever in a concentration camp, as his first book " night" claims?
To answer that question all he needs do is show his tatoo with the numbers he claims are his. That he will not do so. Film has shown he he doesn't even have a tatoo on his arm.
In my opinion he can't hide behind his reputation and power, he should show his tatoo and number. He refuses to do so.
Two:-Grey Owl, Canadas greatest conversationist was never an Indian at all, but grew up in a seaside town in west sussex.I think this makes the story interesting, that his books are important,but his leagacy is his books were withdrawn and replaced by his real name.
This is a difficul subject, rummers and innuendos are not welcome, but sincere concern to the authentisity of famouse imposters i think will make an interesting thread.
