Publisher Description: March 12, 1938: Adolf Hitler annexes his homeland, Austria. Jews are then required to purchase an expensive exit visa before being allowed to leave the country. A group of Viennese Czech resistance fighters hire a young female Jewish painter to forge copies of two stolen works by Gustav Klimt in order to help finance their fight. Her price: four exit visas. But the Gestapo is closing in on the Czechs. Will the resistance fighters escape before they can execute their daring plan to dupe the Gestapo and sell the forgeries in Switzerland? |
