Live From The Hotel Edison Times Square Chronicles Presents: Bau: Artist at War With Executive Producer Richard Allen

Today on Live From the Hotel Edison, owner Suzanna Bowling sits down with Bau: Artist at War with Executive Producer Richard Allen. Bau, Artist at War tells the true story of Joseph Bau, a Polish-born Israeli artist whose life was forever altered by the atrocities of World War II. Imprisoned in the Kraków-Płaszów concentration camp from 1942 to 1945, Bau used his artistic talents and wit to survive and aid others. His skills as a forger, creating false IDs, helped hundreds of prisoners escape the horrors of the Nazi regime. Amid this backdrop of unimaginable suffering, Bau found love with Rebecca, a fellow prisoner and Resistance worker, whom he married in a secret ceremony in the women's barracks–a moment immortalized in Steven Spielberg's Schindler's List. The film follows Joseph's journey through the Płaszów camp, his time at Oskar Schindler's factory in Brünnlitz, and his later fight for justice against his Nazi oppressors, all while weaving in the tender love story that sustained him.
