The Counterfeiters ... and the Fed.(Inside Track)(Movie review)(Brief article)
The Counterfeiters won the foreign-language Oscar on February 24, creating buzz for the Austrian film that had opened in this country in limited release just two days earlier.
Directed by Stefan Ruzowitzky, the movie is about a wartime Nazi plot to destroy the economies of Great Britain and the United States by using concentration-camp prisoners to print massive amounts of counterfeit currencies that would then be interjected into the target economies. The movie is based on the memoir The Devil's Workshop by concentration-camp survivor/counterfeiter Adolph Burger, though in the movie the name of the real-life Burger is changed to Salomon "Sally" Sorowitsch.
