He started a foundation to teach others about his experiences.Holocaust historian Gitta Sereny has dismissed Grays autobiographical book as a forgery in a 1979 article in New Statesman magazine, writing that Grays For Those I Loved was the work of Max Gallo the ghostwriter, who also produced Papillon. Some of Grays claims of wartime heroism were dismissed in Poland as untrue by the Silent Unseen Captain Wacaw Kopisto. ........
