it takes a clever man to make money, it takes a genius to stay alive...
Adaptation of Adolph Burger's fact-based book The Devil's Workship.
Arrested by the police inspector Herzog at the onset of World War II, Sorowitsch is sent to the notorious Mauthausen concentration camp. It's not long before Solomon's thinly veiled opportunism earns him a relatively comfortable position as the camp's resident sketch artist, and five years later he is mysteriously swept away to Sachsenhausen.
Upon arriving at the camp Sorowitsch discovers that Herzog, now a commandant, is attempting to destabilize the economies of the Allies while simultaneously fund the Nazi war machine by assembling a special team of counterfeit artists to create millions in fraudulent pounds and dollars.
