He seemed to me like a cocky apsaportes irresponsible kid who didn’t appreciate the good that he was doing. May 03, Leslie rated it really liked it. For a completely different and very enjoyable look at this dark period of history, I can’t recommend this highly enough.
Yet even underneath all the sloppy writing you could tell it was an incredible story and would make an awesome movie! The true story of a plucky German Jewish boy who used his artistic skills to make counterfeit passes and evade the Gestapo. This is an incredible story of someone doing something truly corageous.
The context, of course, is tried and true as a drama-ready vivarium, but Schonhaus contributes the adolescent adventurous spirit that make his story singular. An interesting story, but weirdly written.
I read about half the book. But to the Jews, they were the diffence between being stopped on the street and sent to the camps and being nodded on, with a smile, to go about their daily business. The tale, that of a Jew successfully surviving in Germany–mostly in Berlin–untilis not as dark as many such accounts are. Aug 25, Kaija rated it liked it.

Although Schonhaus is short on drawing the bigger picture of life in wartime Berlin, his remarkable story of survival reads like an adventure tale, but unlike those fanciful novels, the reader is always aware of the impending doom for the city as the war grinds on and the very deadly consequences for the author’s ‘characters’ should they be found out.
Fortunately, he is an artist,and using his skills to become a forger, he is able to pasapotres every kind of official document from ration books to passports. What if you were a Jew in Germany? This is not the greatest work of literature, but, boy, is it a great story. But he can’t do this alone and through him we see a whole network of Jews living a sort of underlife in the cities.

The Forger: An Extraordinary Story of Survival in Wartime Berlin by Cioma Schönhaus
Want to Read saving…. As some other reviews have pointed out, the prose is choppy and at times rough, additionally the tone seems a bit strange. Personally i thought this book was quite rough around the edges and poorly written, it was very difficult to follow and lacked fluidity. This book is a memoir of a 22 year old graphic artist who found a unique outlet for his talents.
No trivia or quizzes yet. I feel that he had an incredible story to tell but I never connected with anyone, not even him.

I was really shocked at the end when it said that one of the characters was executed at sachenhausen and that i had been there and dd stepping over a plaque where people were shot Trivia About The Forger: It is unclear, at least to this reader, if it is the faslificador or the author the tone being a way to distance himself.
