Best-selling author Sarah Kaminsky takes readers through her father Adolfo Kaminsky's perilous and clandestine career as a real-life forger for the French Resistance; the FLN; and numerous other freedom movements of the twentieth century. Recruited as a young Jewish teenager for his knowledge of dyes; Kaminsky became the primary forger for the French Resistance during the Nazi occupation of Paris. Then; as a professional photographer; Kaminsky spent the next twenty-five years clandestinely producing thousands of counterfeit documents for immigrants; exiles; underground political operatives; and pacifists across the globe. Kaminsky kept his past cloaked in secrecy well into his eighties; until his daughter convinced him to share the details of the life-threatening work he did on behalf of people fighting for justice and peace throughout the world.
