Abstract

This podcast series reflects how war impacts all of us by listening to the different perspectives of those that have lived it, understanding how the media shapes our views of war, understanding our own feelings, and learning life skills for managing stress, fear, and anxiety. Our goal is to educate, remind you that you aren’t alone, and give you tools to navigate living and watching war.

Sam shares a few of his experiences of survival during WWII and what it means to be an artist representing displacement, survival, and hope. Following a 2019 exhibition at UNO, the artist donated more than 500 works for a museum and learning center on UNO’s campus.

Participants in this episode:

Barbara K Robins, Assistant Professor of English, UNO

Samuel Bak, Holocaust Survivor and Artist
