The Stamp Thief

Gary Gilbert, a Hollywood writer-producer with time and money to spare, brings a film crew to Poland to make a movie. But underneath this ruse lies an ulterior motive—to recover stamps stolen by a Nazi officer during the Holocaust and return them to their rightful heirs.Part detective story, part heist film, part untold history, THE STAMP THIEF investigates a tale dating back to the Holocaust—a mysterious Nazi stole priceless stamp collections from concentration camp victims and buried the stolen stamps in a small town in Poland. Embarking on a real-life “Argo”-like adventure, one-time Seinfeld producer Gary Gilbert sets out to confirm the story and recover the stamps. His tactic: a fake movie shoot. His goal: to return the stamps to their rightful owners, hopefully delivering a small measure of justice more than 70 years after the Holocaust.GUEST(S) ARE SCHEDULED TO BE IN ATTENDANCE FOR Q&AFurther engagement at the Westfield Studio Theatre:Following the March 28 film screening and in-theater filmmaker Q&A, join us from 2:15-3:00pm in the Westfield Studio Theatre for further discussion with our community partners around the Holocaust, the legacy of stolen objects, and combatting antisemitism.
