The impact of Samuel Bak Museum: The Learning Center will be felt far beyond UNO and Omaha.
As a global and intellectual hub, it will serve as an educational center for scholars and teachers working in art history, the Holocaust, and human rights.
In this way, it will offer not only a path to understanding our collective history but a promise of hope. While Bak’s art traverses difficult subject matter, it is also very much about beauty, joy, and hope.
If there is no hope, as the artist has repeatedly said, then there is no life.
