the counterfeiters

I usually avoid Holocaust movies, but this one, on balance, is more interesting than devastating. It's a true story of a Nazi effort to produce large quantities of pounds and dollars from a printing press in a concentration camp. the counterfeiters receive so many privileges - like food - that you can almost forget where they are at times. Karl Markovics is great as the incredibly tense and intelligent master forger at the centre of it all.
