Watch and discuss the new film, “Bau, Artist at War.”

Joseph Bau was among the 1,100 Jews saved by Nazi industrialist Oskar Schindler. His secret marriage to Rebecca Tannenbaum in a concentration camp in Poland was immortalized in the film Schindler’s List. But there’s so much more to Bau’s legacy. Now, with the new biographical documentary, “Bau, Artist at War,” his full and fascinating life is revealed.
