Working with the National Strategic Research Institute at the University of Nebraska, Michelle Black, Ph.D., assistant professor of political science at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, was recently awarded a research grant from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. UNO students will assist Dr. Black in her research.
“In the art of Samuel Bak, worlds contrast, coincide, collide: the profane shadows the sacred, the strange echoes the familiar, life exists alongside death, while presence is ever haunted by absence. The artist’s vivid imagination, the breadth of his knowledge and skill as a painter offers us profound questions about human nature.”
“I have seen how young people whether Caucasion, African American, or Asian, identify with the Warsaw Boy.For them he isn’t an exclusively Jewish emblem, rather a signal of a timely warning on a universal scale. I believe that this boy’s grandeur comes from and belongs to eternity and the reason is that human history is a cruel enterprise. For endless centuries children have been savagely sacrificed and have fallen victims to unimaginable genocides, to brutal wars and to tribal feuds. Such horrors happened before the time of the Warsaw Boy, after his time, and they go on happening now all over the world.” --Samuel Bak
