The Stamp Thief
2025, NR, US, Documentary, 103 minutes
Director: Dan Sturman
Producers: Dylan Nelson, Gary Gilbert, Dan Sturman
From an Oscar, Peabody and Emmy Award-winning team, The Stamp Thief is part detective story, part heist film and part untold history. The documentary investigates a tale dating back to the Holocaust: that 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.
