UMaine Judaic Studies and the Bangor Stamp Club present a screening of The Stamp Thief: A Holocaust Mystery on Sunday April 12th at 2pm in Donald P Corbett Business Building room 100. 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.
Coffee and Stamp Display at 1:30
Screening at 2:00
Q&A with producers at 4:00
