The movie is about Salomon Sorowitsch, a swindler who is coerced into assisting the operation at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp and then makes a name for himself as Berlin's 'King of the Counterfeiters.'
It's a true story of the human condition, the Holocaust and history.

This dark, absorbing thriller is not just a moral exercise in the awful choices faced by those determined to survive history's worst genocide. It invites us to imagine ourselves in the shoes of a not-quite-lovable rogue.

Although there is nothing ground-breaking about The Counterfeiters, it tells a moving and engrossing story with depth and intelligence, and is well worth seeing.
Deft and fascinating handling of a moral quandary in a Nazi concentration camp.

2008's Oscar-winning foreign film is unquestionably good, a wholly absorbing and taut drama that is as engaging as it is powerful. But Oscar-worthy? There's room for debate.

Based on a real-life Nazi operation, the film is a tense drama with performances that elevate the movie to the front rank of films set in concentration camps.
