About The Soap Myth

More than fifty years after the Holocaust, a determined survivor urges a young investigative reporter to uncover the truth behind one of history’s most debated claims.

As her reporting intensifies, she is drawn into a high-stakes collision of memory, evidence, and testimony—where each answer raises deeper questions. With deadlines looming, she must navigate a world where truth is fragile, and the consequences of getting it wrong are profound.

Taut, provocative, and deeply relevant, The Soap Myth examines who owns history, and what responsibility we bear once the truth is revealed.
