Steal a Pencil for me. Excellent.

Director Michèle Ohayon's moving documentary chronicles the unshakeable romance between Jack Polak and Ina Soep of Amsterdam, who met and fell in love despite their deportation to Nazi concentration camps during the war. As they corresponded with love letters composed on any scrap of paper they could find, the couple's blossoming relationship coincided with the horrors of the Holocaust and their internment in Westerbork and Bergen-Belsen.


Very disturbing, yet moving story of love and death the Holocaust wrought. That they survived the conditions to share their love story is a miracle.
