This video is a portion of the documentary film, "In Every Generation: Remaking The Szyk Haggadah (Historicana and JKR Productions, 2008), directed by Emmy-nominated Jim Ruxin. Drawn and first published during the rise of Hitler, the Passover Haggadah of Polish-Jewish artist Arthur Szyk (1894-1951) is a triumphant and enduring work of hope and courage, and the supreme expression of one artist's love for his people and his heritage. The new luxury edition of The Szyk Haggadah, limited to only 300 copies, is a landmark of Jewish art and culture. For more information, please visit www.szyk.com.
Szyk did drawings of Jesus, of The Canterbury tales, & H. Christian Anderson Fairy Tales. Many drawings of George Washington, 2! A true internationalist who didn't 4get his own roots, eithr!
