Samuel Bak Museum: The Learning Center will serve as a hub for intercultural dialogue and education on the subjects of art, the Holocaust, genocide, and human rights in the U.S. heartland – a center that will inspire meaningful discussions and thoughtful reflection among all of our visitors.
Over his lifetime, Samuel Bak has woven his Holocaust experience with his life story to create an iconography of modern history.
His use of symbolic elements in surreal spaces encourages reflection and conversation about the imperative contemporary issues of social justice and human rights.
