Trivia

» Helen Mirren in her role as Rachel was required to speak some dialog in Russian, and although her father was a Russian diplomat, she did not speak the language in childhood. However, the lines she speaks in the film, perhaps fully or partially memorized phonetically, are nearly flawlessly articulated and quite credible as native Russian speech.

Character’s Quotes

• My name is Rachel Singer. Please publish what you are about to read. In 1965, I was part of a mission to kidnap Dieter Vogel, The Surgeon of Birkenau, and bring him to Israel to stand trial. We have always claimed that Vogel was killed, trying to escape. But this was a lie. A lie I have lived with for thirty years. And now I understand that I must tell the truth.
