הסרט: "יוסף באו, אמן במלחמה" הוקרן בחסותו של ראש עירית גבעתיים, מר רן קוניק, בקולנוע רב-חן בקניון גבעתיים.
היה מאד מאד מרגש.

כתבה על האירוע התפרסמה בעתון מעריב.

The film: "Yosef Bau, Artist in War" was screened under the patronage of the Mayor of Givatayim, Mr. Ran Konik, at the Rav-Chen Cinema in the Givatayim Mall. It was very, very moving.

An article about the event was published in the Maariv newspaper. You can use Google Translate to read the article.

הקרנה מיוחדת של "יוסף באו: אמן במלחמה" התקיימה בעיר בנוכחות בנותיו של באו, שסיפרו על אביהן, ההומור שליווה אותו גם ברגעים הקשים ועל הקשר המשפחתי לגבעתיים

בפריצה שהיתה אצלינו במוזיאון לפני 16 שנה נגנבו ציורים ומצלמות ייחודיות שאבינו, יוסף באו הסב אותן לצלם את סרטי האנימציה אותם יצר.
אחד הציורים התגלה במכירה פומבית ובזכות הכתבה ב- ynet על הציורים הגנובים, חבר שמכיר אותנו ואת המוזיאון קנה את הציור עבורינו. מאד מרגש!
אנחנו מקוות שנמצא את שאר הציורים והמצלמות.
In a break-in that took place at our museum 16 years ago, paintings and unique cameras were stolen. Cameras that our father, Joseph Bau, converted to shoot the animated films he created. Last month one of the paintings was discovered at an auction, and thanks to the article on Ynet about the stolen painting, a friend who knows us and the museum bought the painting for us.
Very moving!
We hope we will find the rest of the paintings and cameras.

בעקבות הכתבה ב-ynet ו"ידיעות אחרונות" על ציור גנוב של האמן יוסף באו, הוא הוחזר למשפחתו. חבר של הצייר רכש אותו במכירה פומבית אליה הגיע במקרה

From Montevideo to Tel Aviv, Joseph Bau's story keeps finding new hearts. 💙 History teacher Jimena Machado of Colegio Bilingüe Ciudad Vieja in Montevideo, Uruguay, showed her ninth-grade students the film "Bau: An Artist at War" ("Bau: Artista En Guerra"). What followed was a class exploring memory, human rights, resilience, and art as resistance — and then, letters. Handwritten, personal letters to our founder's daughters, Clila and Hadasa Bau.

One group of students wrote: "Art can be both a refuge and a form of resistance." Another wrote: "Never stop sharing Joseph Bau's story, as it is of great importance to humanity."

Thousands of kilometers from Krakow and Tel Aviv, a new generation of Uruguayan teenagers is carrying "Never Again" forward in their own words. This is exactly why we do this work.

Thank you to Prof. Jimena Machado and to her students — Bianca, Igor, Josefina, Juana, Juan Manuel, Mathías, Natalia, Nicolás, and Olivia — for this gift.

לפני 16 שנה היתה פריצה במוזיאון "בית יוסף באו" ונגנבו ציורים ומצלמות מאד ייחודיות. אנחנו, צלילה והדסה באו, כל השנים מחפשות את הציורים והמצלמות.
מצלמה אחת מצאנו, יותר נכון, הבן של צלילה, איל מצא. ונודע לנו שאחד הציורים עומד למכירה במכירה פומבית.
נשמח שגם אתם תעזרו לנו למצוא את הציורים והמצלמות.


For 16 years, Clila and Hadasa Bau have been searching for their father's stolen art. https://www.ynet.co.il/news/article/yokra14825345

In 2010, the Joseph Bau House Museum in Tel Aviv was burglarized. Paintings, film reels, and irreplaceable pieces of Joseph Bau's life work vanished. The sisters have spent the years since tracking down what was taken — checking auction listings, visiting flea markets, following up with collectors. One stolen film reel turned up at Jaffa's flea market. Several paintings surfaced with private collectors over the years.

Now another original Joseph Bau painting has appeared at auction — and the sisters have gone to the police to try to stop the sale before it's too late. As Hadasa put it: this isn't just art. It's their family's legacy.

Help us protect what remains of Joseph Bau's story. 💛

🕊️ A Special Invitation to Our Christian Friends Visiting Israel: As tens of millions of Christians around the world join the Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem on October 4th, we want to extend a personal invitation to those of you who'll be here in Israel — especially if your travels bring you through Tel Aviv.

Come visit us at the Joseph Bau Museum. This was the home and studio of Joseph Bau — a Holocaust survivor who forged documents that saved lives during the Shoah, and who later became one of Israel's pioneering animators. It's also the true love story behind Schindler's List, secretly carried by Joseph and his wife Rebecca for fifty years.

We'd love to welcome you personally, share our father's story, and thank you for standing with Israel.
📍 9 Berdichevsky St. (near Rothschild Blvd.), Tel Aviv
📞 Visits are by appointment — please reach out in advance: Hadasa +972-54-421-2730 or Clila +972-54-430-1499, or email [email protected]

Thank you for your love and support of Israel. We can't wait to meet you.

🇮🇱 More than 70 million Christians from 175 countries are expected to unite on October 4, 2026, in what organizers describe as the largest annual prayer gathering for Israel in history during the 24th Annual Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem (DPPJ).

Hosted by Eagles' Wings and its founder Bishop Robert Stearns, the event will be broadcast live from the Tower of David Jerusalem Museum and will bring together more than 500 senior Christian leaders from 50 countries in Jerusalem.

The gathering will include official delegations from Nigeria, Kenya, and Togo, featuring senior government officials, the First Ladies of Nigeria and Kenya, and the King and Queen of Togo, highlighting growing international support for Israel.

Also attending will be 175 Latin American Christian leaders, led by Rev. José Wellington Costa Jr., General Superintendent of Brazil's Assemblies of God, a denomination with more than 33 million members that forms part of a global Protestant movement of over 90 million believers in 212 countries. Together, the Latin American delegations represent more than 51 million Christians.

Bishop Stearns said: "This is far more than a prayer event. It is a global declaration that Israel is not alone. At a time when the Jewish people face extraordinary challenges, tens of millions of Christians are choosing to stand publicly with Israel, pray for her peace, and reaffirm the unbreakable bond between our people."
