The Counterfeiters (2007)

Based on a real account by a Holocaust survivor, the film explores the secret currency counterfeiting unit established by the Nazis during World War II and the Jewish prisoners selected to work in this unit. Karl Markovics plays the role of the expert forger in pre-war Berlin who ends up in a concentration camp, but is recognised for his special skills. The film's central moral issue of survival or working complicitly with the Nazis is heightened by August Diehl's performance as a Jewish prisoner who prefers death to supporting this horrific regime.
