Adolf Kaminski – the Forger

Amit Sheich, י’4: Adolfo Kaminsky
What were you doing at the age of 18?

It is a big moment, turning to 18. People start to throw around the word “adult”, and you start to plan your life from now on, as an “adult”.We all know that things are about to change, really change. So maybe you were trying to join the Military, maybe you went to a bar with your friends to Have an alcoholic drink for the first time, maybe you even wanted to rent an apartment with your girlfriend. As impressive as it was, it probably doesn’t even come close to what Adolfo Kaminsky was putting his effort toward. While just a teen during World War II, Kaminsky saved thousands of lives from the Nazis by forging passports for them and smuggled them out of the country.

Adolfon was a Jewish-France male from the jewish comunnity, it means that he and his family was poor.

In age of 18 he started to make fake ID in order to smuggle jewishes to Israel for free.

Adolfo was a very smrt guy that knew how to avoit from getting cought.
