Film Overview
A wordless, musical tribute to the main themes in the life and work of Polish-Jewish artist and political cartoonist, Arthur Szyk (1894-1951)—the ideals of American democracy, the horrors of Nazism, the tragedy of the Holocaust, and the rebirth of the Jewish people in Israel. Szyk was a leading visual voice against the Axis powers in New York during WWII.
