The Counterfeiters
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Metrodome Stefan Ruzowitzky's taut, engrossing drama is based on the true story of concentration camp Jews – printers, typographers and others – who escaped the gas chambers by counterfeiting for the Nazis. Operation Bernhard presented these select prisoners with a terrible moral dilemma: the more money they forged for their captors' war effort, the longer they survived; while their comrades continued to die. Ruzowitzky's masterstroke is a wholly original anti-hero – the crook amongst the craftsmen, forger Salomon Sorowitsch, who is played with extraordinary subtlety by Karl Markovics.
