The Stamp Thief

East Coast Premiere

Part detective story, part heist film, and part historical reckoning, The Stamp Thief is an engrossing cat-and-mouse journey that delves into a decades-old mystery rooted in the Holocaust. The film reveals the story of a rogue Nazi officer tasked with cataloging the valuables of Jews sent to concentration camps. Rather than aiding the victims, he seized the opportunity to steal millions of dollars worth of rare stamps and buried them in his home—now modern-day Poland. In a real-life, Argo-like mission, former Seinfeld producer Gary Gilbert embarks on a daring quest to uncover the truth and recover the stolen stamps. Disguising his investigation as a movie shoot, Gilbert seeks to return the stamps to their rightful heirs, delivering a small yet powerful act of justice more than 75 years after the Holocaust.
