His art was so effective that Adolf Hitler reportedly put a bounty on his head while the US military declared him a \"citizen-soldier\" of the free world. Szyk steadfastly fought for the rescue of European Jewry during the Holocaust, creating artworks like \u003ci\u003eDe Profundis\u003c\/i\u003e, which imagines Jesus sharing the suffering of countless lifeless Jews. His civil rights art challenged segregation and his illuminated Declaration of Independence resides in the Library of Congress. Szyk's masterwork, an illustrated Passover Haggadah, is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful books ever produced by human hands. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Once world-famous, Arthur Szyk was all but forgotten after his death in 1951. \u003ci\u003eReviving the Artist Who Fought Hitler\u003c\/i\u003e recounts Irvin Ungar's decades-long journey to restore Szyk to public consciousness, and become the principal collector, dealer, scholar, and promoter of Szyk's art in the United States, Europe, and Israel. Richly illustrated and full of forgotten history, this memoir is an inspiring story of artistic passion and an invitation to commune with a heroic advocate for all humanity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Irvin Ungar, an antiquarian bookseller and former pulpit rabbi, has devoted the past three decades to scholarship on Arthur Szyk.
