NEW WORK
Samuel Bak was born in 1933 in Vilna, Poland and was recognized from
an early age as possessing extraordinary artistic talent. As Vilna came under German occupation
in 1940, Bak and his family moved into the Vilna ghetto, and later to a labor camp,
from which he was smuggled and given refuge in a monastery. At the end of the war, his mother and
he were the only members of his extensive family still alive. Bak, now 74, has spent his life
dealing with the artistic expression of the destruction and dehumanization which make up his childhood memories.
He speaks about what are deemed to be the unspeakable atrocities of the Holocaust.
He has created a visual language to remind the world of its most desperate moments.
