Curious People, Big Ideas: Mark Celinscak with special guest Samuel Bak

Born in 1933, the same year Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany, Samuel Bak has lived through a chaotic and violent period of human history. His paintings bear testimony to the trauma of surviving the Holocaust. And while his art traverses dark and difficult subject matter, it is also very much about beauty, joy, and hope. This talk will explore how Bak’s art can be used to explore challenging questions about human nature.
