Based on a true account, THE COUNTERFEITERS (2007, Austrian-German) by Stefan Ruzowitzky deals with a top-secret mission of the Nazis to destabilize the British economy by flooding the country with fake currency. The task falls on a Jewish counterfeiter who is coerced into manufacturing the notes at a concentration camp where he is being held as a prisoner.
A gripping Holocaust drama, the film went on to win the Best Foreign Film at the 80th Academy Awards.
