In this examination of Samuel Bak's most recent collection of
paintings inspired by the little boy from the famous Stroop Report
photo taken in the Warsaw Ghetto in April 1943, Gary A. Phillips
and Danna Nolan Fewell consider the historical and visual
implications of this iconic image and its contemporary evocations.
A survivor of the Vilna liquidation and a child prodigy whose first
exhibition was held in the Vilna Ghetto at age nine, Bak weaves
together personal history and Jewish history to articulate an
iconography of his Holocaust experience. Bak's art preserves memory
of the twentieth-century ruination of Jewish life and culture by
way of an artistic passion and precision that stubbornly announces
the creativity of the human spirit.
