Kaminsky has lived, in the shadows, the brightest hours of the
Resistance. - Le Monde 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.
