Stefan Ruzowitzky Challenges Holocaust Dogmanew
Rather than the nobly suffering merchants, artists and family men who fill the barracks of many a Holocaust drama, the counterfeiters of The Counterfeiters are a motley crew of scam artists and petty thugs under the supervision of the wily Russian-Jewish forger Salomon "Sally" Sorowitsch.
