Passport forger

Cioma Schönhaus calls his second home – Switzerland – a paradise. In 1943, he found refuge here from the horrors of the Holocaust. Thanks to his counterfeiting talents, he helped hundreds of other Jews escape certain death. More than sixty years later, he has published his story in a gripping biography, ‘The Passport forger’.
