Mark Podwal is an artist in New York. He has illustrated many of the books of his friend Elie Wiesel, and his work can be found in major museums, Jewish and non-Jewish, worldwide.

Mark Podwal’s “With a Mighty Hand” is part of his drawing “Lion’s Gate” (1985), which was published in Holocaust survivor and Nobel Prize laureate Elie Wiesel’s book A Beggar in Jerusalem that occurs in the days following the 1967 Six-Day War. The drawing is particularly timely today.
