The Stamp Thief

The Stamp Thief

From an Oscar, Peabody, and Emmy award-winning team, “The Stamp Thief” is part detective story, part heist film, and part untold history. More than 75 years after the Holocaust, our protagonists investigate family lore to see whether a family legend is true – that an unknown Nazi stole priceless stamp collections from concentration camp victims, and buried them somewhere in a small Polish town.

Embarking on a real-life “Argo”-style adventure, one-time “Seinfeld” producer Gary Gilbert sets out to verify the story and recover the stamps. His tactic: a fake movie shoot. His goal: to return the stamps to their rightful owners and deliver a small measure of justice in memory of those robbed of property and life.
