Was anyone curious about how these forgers made the documents look so authentic? I always wondered how they were not found out.

Yes and it would have made the book more interesting and have a bit more depth.I would have also liked more backstory about the children whose papers were being forged.

I agree more specifics would have added a little more depth to the plot.

Yes! That kind of detail would have been most interesting.

Yes, it was really interesting so I dug into more backstory about WWII and forged documents.

More detail would have been interesting. Eva seems to have had success on her first attempt, which is a little unrealistic. And she seems to have been able to work fairly quickly. Since the forging was such an important part of the story, I would have liked to know how these amateurs were able to do so well. And how relatively easy it was for them to get the inks and other materials.

I'm sure they had to jump through hoops to get the ink and materials, but somehow managed.

I just wonder how they made them so authentic that the Germans couldn't tell they were forged.

I was fascinated by their success with the forgery. I wish more information had been given about how they got by with it.

It is fascinating, nelle.

Yes. I'm torn between wanting more and knowing that the details I want might have detracted from the plot of this book.

It may have been too much for sure, carolt, and taken away from the story.

I think adding too much detail about the forgery process would have detracted from the story. I plan to do some research of my own about how successful forgers actually were in making realistic fake documents that would pass the scrutiny of the Germans. I wondered if the papers were that convincing or if most of the soldiers who were inspecting the papers, just didn't care and were simply going through the motions because it was expected of them.
I assumed the documents were easier to forge because of the rudimentary methods used to create authentic documents at the time.

Thanks for your thoughtful comments, Cynthia. True that extra information may have made it tedious. It definitely made me curious which is always good. :)
