Josh Gad will portray German actor/director Kurt Gerron in an upcoming biopic. Fleeing his home country after the rise of Hitler, Gerron settled in Amsterdam where he was captured in 1943. Sent to a Jewish ghetto in Czechoslovakia, Gerron was forced to make The Fuhrer Donates a City to the Jews, a film that portrayed the camp in a positive light.
