Joseph Bau Exhibition Opening
Event Date and Time:
February 13, 2024 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
An exhibition of Joseph Bau, artist, counterfeiter, and Mossad agent. Bau’s hidden access to pen and ink during the Holocaust allowed him to forge documents, saving his life and countless others. The Joseph Bau exhibition will feature a collection of his significant contributions to the art of the Holocaust, offering a poignant reflection on wartime realities and the joy Bau found in post-war Israel. We are honored to be joined by the artist’s daughters, Clila + Hadasa Bau, who will speak about their father’s life, love and legacy at the opening in conversation with Mr. Eli Bartov, who lectures on the Jewish influence on the Far East and Israeli intelligence.
About Joseph Bau: Post-liberation, Bau completed his degree in Plastic Arts, immigrated to Israel with his family, and became a prominent graphic artist, contributing to the film industry. His memoir, “Dear God, Have You Ever Gone Hungry?” and animated films earned him acclaim, earning him the title of the “Israeli Walt Disney.”
