Entitled, The Apple, Rosenblat Love Story Will Be Published as Fiction
From the "greatest" to the most controversial love story ever told, York House Press set to publish "The Apple"
01.20.2009 – White Plains, NY--York House Press has finalized an agreement with Atlantic Overseas Pictures to publish a novel based on an updated movie script that tells the love story of Holocaust survivor, Herman Rosenblat, and the controversy surrounding his recently canceled memoir.
As a guest on Oprah and elsewhere, Herman Rosenblat told a tale of meeting his future wife during the Holocaust when she tossed apples to him over the fence of a Nazi concentration camp. His story captured the imagination of readers worldwide. Many still want to read his story, despite the recent controversy surrounding the fact that Mr. Rosenblat initially presented incidents in the story that were later disputed.
"We will publish what has become one of the most controversial love stories of all time as fiction based on true events," said a York House Press spokesperson. "Besides the love story, many people want to hear the story behind the story: why Mr. Rosenblat constructed and told his tale as he did. This will be included in the book."
The novel, tentatively entitled, "The Apple", will be based largely on an existing movie script, which is undergoing rewrites to include recent developments in the Rosenblat story. The film is scheduled to begin production in a few months. The book, slated for a fall publication and international release, will precede the movie's release.
"The movie was written as a fictionalized interpretation of Herman's love story and now the novel will reflect the film. Both will include relevant updates," says Atlantic Overseas Pictures' Producer, Harris Salomon.
