Bau, Artist at War

His art kept him alive. Her love kept him unbroken.

Based on the true story of Joseph and Rebecca Bau, whose wedding took place in the Plaszow concentration camp during WW2. Using his artistic skills, Joseph stays alive and helps hundreds to escape. Miraculously, he finds love in the midst of despair. Years later, when called to be a key witness in the trial of the brutal Nazi officer who tortured him and killed his father, Joseph is thrust back into vivid memories of the Holocaust. Now, he calls upon this love and resilience of spirit to face the ultimate demon of his past.
