If the stories about King Edwards closeness to Hitler were fakes then why was he kept out of Britain for so many years after the war?

There must be something about WW2 which invites fakery, even when you'd think there was no reason for it. There are 100s of genuine and shocking memoirs from Holocaust Survivors - yet many of the ones that have been commercial successes (Painted Bird, Fragments) are either partial or total frauds. Jezinsky didn't wander alone amongst anti-semitic sadists and perverts, he spent the war with his parents, protected (at great risk to themselves) by the uncouth Polish peasants he castigated later. Wilkmorsky spent the entire war in Switzerland - he wasn't even Jewish! Dark shadows hang over the personal stories of at least two of the most famous survivors even as they pour poison over some of the real survivor witnesses who dare to challenge their profiteering ways.
