Marco, The Invented Truth

Enric Marco was a deportee who never existed, a man who for years was able to maintain, before public opinion and his own family, a lie that was difficult to imagine: that he had been a prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp. Charismatic and convincing, Marco rose to the presidency of the Spanish Association of Holocaust Victims, where he became a prominent figure admired for his alleged bravery and suffering. Until one day a historian discovers that his story is completely false.
