STEAL A PENCIL FOR ME is a compelling documentary feature film by Academy Award nominee Michele Ohayon about the power of love and the ability of humankind to rise above unimaginable suffering.
1943: Holland is under Nazi occupation.
In Amsterdam, Jack, an unassuming accountant, first meets Ina at a
birthday party - a 20-year-old beauty from a wealthy family who
instantly steals his heart. But Jack's pursuit of love will be
complicated; he is poor and married to Manja, a flirtatious and
mercurial spouse.
When the Jews are being deported, the
husband, the wife and the lover find themselves at the same
concentration camp, living in the same barracks. When Jack's wife
objects to the relationship in spite of their unhappy marriage, Jack and
Ina resort to writing secret love letters, which sustain them throughout
the horrible circumstances of the war.
Jack reflects on his experience: "I'm a
very special Holocaust survivor. I was in the camps with my wife and my
girlfriend; and believe me, it wasn't easy."
