	Konrad Kujai
		Konrad Kujau, forger, was born in Löbau, Saxony, on June 27, 1938.
		Kujau was a balding, portly, jocular man, who seemed to revel in the publicity he received during the court case.
		Konrad Kujau, a raffish German swindler who sold 60 volumes of forged "Hitler diaries" to a German magazine for $4.8 million, died on Tuesday in a hospital in Stuttgart, Germany.

		Kujau hatte 1983 weltweit Schlagzeilen gemacht, weil er zusammen mit dem Reporter Gerd Heidemann der Hamburger Illustrierten "Stern" für mehr als 9,3 Millionen Mark (4,76 Mill.
		Nach kurzer Zeit stellte sich jedoch heraus, dass Kujau sie selbst geschrieben hatte.
		THE press conference of Der Stern magazine on April 25, 1983 in Hamburg, at which they presented their "Hitler diaries find" to the world, was one of the most memorable points in my career so far; the scholars and academics crowded the podium, eager for the glory.

		Either Kujau had mistaken the 'F' for an 'A', as the letters are somewhat similar, or he simply didn't had an 'A' handy and took an 'F' instead.
		After the discovery of the hoax, Heidemann and Kujau were arrested (Kujau tried to run away but was caught at the Austrian border), brought to court and both sentenced to four years in jail, for forgery and fraud, respectively.
		Konrad Kujau died of cancer in September 2000, aged 62.

		Kujau's customers were more eager to own a piece of the Nazi past than they were to verify the authenticity of their purchases, so Kujau wasn't particularly cautious about accuracy.
		Two years after the fraud was uncovered, Kujau and Heidemann were each sentenced to four and a half years in prison.
		Kujau later leveraged his fame into an above-board (if somewhat 'novelty'-oriented) artist's career, and was selling his acknowledged forgeries/copies of the masters up to his death in September, 2000.

		Heidemann's journalist career was destroyed, but Kujau became a minor celebrity, appearing hundreds of times on German talk shows, opening a "Gallery of Forgeries" in Stuttgart, and even running for mayor of the city.
		Rudimentary scientific tests, initiated by The Sunday Times as soon as Stern agreed to release the diaries for independent analysis, quickly exposed "the scoop of the century" as the oops of the century, and the West German Federal Archives declared the diaries to be "grotesque and superficial forgeries".
		It's impossible to decide what's most appalling, the shabbiness of the hoaxers (the soon-to-be-legendary forger Konrad Kujau, aided by a deeply-closet-fascist German journalist), the gullibility of the British academics or journalists who accepted them at face value, or the cynicism of those who should have known better, i.e.

		The chief villain in the affair was Gerd Heidemann, a reporter for the German publication, Stern, who worked with the forger himself, Konrad Kujau alias "Connie" Fischer, a dealer and middleman in Nazi memorabilia, some genuine and some fake.
		A large section of it was the work of Konrad Kujau, but it would have cost a fortune to rip out the fakes and reprint the book.
		The Kujaus therefore were left sprinkled amongst the Hitlers, and nobody, apparently, cared.

		One of the most reputed con-artists that the world of the recent past saw was a German named Konrad Kujau; a small time diarist who in 1983 succeeded albeit temporarily in fooling historians and publishers alike by producing what looked like genuine diaries of Adolf Hitler.
		Konrad Kujau was later convicted and sentenced to five years imprisonment.
		The purpose of this article is to debunk this con artist by uncovering his true identity, to examine the depth of the absurdity of his forgeries and evaluate the negative implication that such fraudulent practices may have on the nascent Eritrean political discourse.

		Early in 1981 Kujau told Heidemann that his brother, an officer in the East German army, had smuggled previously unknown Hitler diaries across the border into West Germany and was offering them for sale.
		The diaries, Kujau explained, had been put aboard a transport plane in Berlin in late April 1945, as Hitler's reich began crumbling around him.
		Heidemann accepted Kujau's fantastic tale and in the next two years persuaded his employers to part with 9 million marks ($3.7 million) for the diaries.

		Konrad Kujau, the man behind the hoax, even had a handwritten letter--forged, of course--hanging on his wall, authorizing him to "compile Adolf's diary after the Führer's death." And compile Kujau did, churning out the diaries himself in the backroom of his shop in Stuttgart, where he sold Nazi memorabilia.
		Stern's publishers paid Kujau to "secure" the remaining diaries from East German officials, but in reality Kujau was forging entries using reference books, newspapers and medical records.
		This banality got Kujau four years in prison, but Stern's money was never recovered, and after Kujau was released early with cancer, he ran for mayor of Stuttgart--and got 900 votes.
