Synopsis "Adolfo Kaminsky the Forger of Paris: Authorized Biography. New and Expanded Edition"

As seen on 60 Minutes with Anderson Cooper and in the Emmy-award-winning New York Times documentary, the gripping true story of a Jewish teenager who became "The Forger of Paris" for the French Resistance. At the age of seventeen Adolfo Kaminsky had narrowly escaped deportation to Auschwitz and was recruited to join the Jewish underground. Due to his expert knowledge of dyes and an artistic ability to reproduce official documents, he soon became the primary forger for the Resistance in Paris, creating papers that would save an estimated 14,000 men, women and children from certain death. Upon the Liberation and for the next twenty-five years Kaminsky worked as a professional photographer. But, recognizing the fight for freedom had not ended with the defeat of the Nazis, and driven by his own harrowing experiences, he continued to secretly forge documents for refugees, anti-fascists, student movement leaders, freedom fighters, anti-apartheid activists, and pacifists throughout the world."An engrossing literary debut." --Kirkus Reviews"... has a thriller dimension that outshines even the best undercover fiction." --Jewish Book Council "A triumphant wartime biography, full of heroism and near-alchemistic craftiness." --Foreword Reviews
