An authentic artist workshop conveys to the visitor the amazing life story of Joseph Bau, reflected in his wide range of creativity, including movies, animation, paintings, graphics, literature, and research of the Hebrew language - all spiced with his special humor stemming from his optimistic view of life. He was recruited to a secret intelligence corps unit that dealt with technical covert operations that utilized his talent for art and graphics. Later, he was transferred, together with other Intelligence Corps personnel, to a similar unit that was formed and worked as part of the intelligence community belonging to the Prime Minister´s office. Bau´s two daughters, Hadasa and Clila, have tried to raise the funds to convert Joseph Bau´s studio into a museum commemorating his holocaust experiences and the artistic and literary works that are the fruits of his very creative life. The studio, under threat of closing, showcases his paintings and works of graphic art, as well as the animation equipment he built himself. It also has a small cinema where he screened the cartoons and movies he produced. How You Can Help
