NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING EMILE HIRSCH
A classic memoir that is both an inspiring true love story and a historical espionage thriller, Bau: Artist at War comes at a critical moment when the last survivors of the German concentration camps are dying and the Holocaust is slipping from memory. Includes a foreword by Clila Bau-Cohen and Hadasa Bau and an introduction by Sean McNamara, director of the major motion picture of the same name.
In a memorable scene from Steven Spielberg's film Schindler's List, viewers the world over witnessed the clandestine marriage of two Jews in the Plaszów concentration camp: Joseph and Rebecca Bau. At once a tale of horror and beauty, Bau: Artist at War is one man's memoir of a miracle: the bloom of love in the depths of a Nazi concentration camp.
In his painstaking prose, Joseph Bau also shares his experience of other wartime traumas--the bombing of Kraków, the brutality of the ghetto, the harsh last days at Oskar Schindler's factory--with surprising wit and irony, a tone enhanced by his brilliant black-and-white drawings. Above all, Bau's story is a celebration of his wife, Rebecca. Married in secret, they had a mutual devotion that fueled their humor, resiliency, and ultimate triumph in the face of unspeakable evil.
