A team of US documentary filmmakers pursuing a Holocaust-era story in Poland could face charges of unauthorized excavation work, a Polish prosecutor said on Friday.
The filmmakers talked to Wahlmann’s children and obtained confirmation of the address where the collection was supposedly hidden as the Nazis fled the advancing Soviet army.
The charges would be punishable by up to two years in prison.
The team behind the project, titled The Liegnitz Plot, includes Academy-Award-winning director and producer Dan Sturman.
