'The Counterfeiters'
As a Holocaust story, the Oscar-winning Austrian film The Counterfeiters is a little too entertaining. It even has, unlike most movies of its kind, a happy ending. But it's based on a true story: how the Nazis ran the largest counterfeiting operation in history from inside a concentration camp. Who were the master counterfeiters? Imprisoned Jews. What was the money for? So the Nazis could flood the economies of England and America and win the war. It's a fascinating and little-known episode. (See Movie Times for details.)
