- The Liegnitz Plot is an immersive cat and mouse journey which solves a crime decades old. Here is the background: while the Nazis occupied Poland during WWII, a rogue Nazi officer whose job was to catalog stamps and valuables belonging to Jews being sent to concentration camps saw an opportunity to plunder the Third Reich. Sadly, this is not the case of a hero who disobeyed orders and tried to help the victims of the Holocaust. Instead this is a story of a Nazi officer who decided to pocket millions of dollars worth of stamps stolen from the victims. For safekeeping, he buried them in the basement of his home in what is today Poland. Flash forward to the modern day…thanks to the discovery of a detailed map showing the approximate location of this stolen buried treasure, a group of Americans return to Poland with a plan to right the wrong committed nearly 75 years before. That is where our story begins; where it ends will shock and thrill.
