About

Actor Emile Hirsch and director Sean McNamara join us to discuss their powerful new film, Bau, Artist at War. Based on a true story, the film weaves together romance, resilience, and espionage amid the horrors of the Holocaust. Hirsch portrays Joseph Bau, a brilliant artist and master forger imprisoned in the Kraków-Płaszów concentration camp during World War II. Risking his life, Joseph uses his talents to forge documents that help fellow prisoners escape death. In the midst of unimaginable cruelty, Joseph finds love with Rebecca Tannenbaum—a brave and compassionate woman whose devotion becomes his anchor. Their secret wedding inside the camp, a bold act of defiance and hope, was later immortalized in Steven Spielberg’s Schindler’s List. If that film moved you, Bau, Artist at War will resonate deeply. Now playing in theaters nationwide.
