STEAL A PENCIL FOR ME is a compelling documentary feature film by Academy Award® nominee Michèle Ohayon about the power of love and the ability of humankind to rise above unimaginable suffering. 1943: Holland is under total Nazi occupation. In Amsterdam, Jack, an unassuming accountant, first meets Ina at a birthday party - a 20-year-old beauty from a wealthy diamond manufacturing 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; actually living in the same barracks. When Jack's wife objects to the "girlfriend" 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: "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.

| San Francisco ChronicleLeba HertzA terrific documentary about forbidden love in the most heinous of places. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxAmazingly, many of Jack's and Ina's letters survived and -- read aloud by Dutch actors Jeroen Krabbe and Ellen Ten Damme -- serve as the thematic thread that runs through Ohayon's film. |
| Los Angeles Daily NewsGlenn WhippIt's a Holocaust story unlike any other, and filmmaker Michele Ohayon treats it with an engaging sensitivity. |
| Monsters and CriticsRon WilkinsonLove conquers all, including the Nazi war machine and an angry wife, in Ohayon's new Holocaust documentary. |
| New York PressEric KohnOhayan creates a fluid pace, matching the account of the survival with present day footage of the couple lecturing younger generations to raise Holocaust awareness. |
| NewsdayJohn AndersonSome may think the Holocaust has nothing new to offer up, but Michele Ohayon says otherwise. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumGentle study in human resilience and luck. |
| Film ThreatZack HaddadIf you enjoy learning about the Holocaust and how dark a time it was, or you just like a good love story, then check this documentary out. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanIf Michele Ohayon's absorbing documentary didn't provide the proof, you'd never believe the story she tells about Holocaust survivors Jack Polak and Ina Soep. |
| SpoutBlogKarina LongworthAn idiosyncratic, largely anecdotal story with larger reverberations. |
