Host Jay Thiemeyer speaks with Austrian director Stefan Rusowitzky about his film "The Counterfeiters," which tells a little-known, true-life World War II story. Solomon Sorowitsch, a Russian Jew and uncrowned king of counterfeiting in the swinging Berlin of the 1930s, is plucked from almost certain death in a Nazi concentration camp and put in charge of a massive effort to flood England and America with counterfeit currency.
