Films: Romantic triangle survives in the midst of hell

Tom Tugend November 9, 2007

\”I\’m a very special Holocaust survivor,\” Jack Polak says. \”I was in the camps with my wife and my girlfriend, and, believe me, it wasn\’t easy.\” This may sound like a line from the new genre of Holocaust films with humor, but Polak (who is Jacob on his birth certificate, Jack in America, Jaap to his Dutch friends and Jab to his wife) is just stating the facts in the documentary feature, \”Steal a Pencil for Me.\”
