This is the story of an 18 year old boy who left his family and fled his native Vienna to Holland. There, as an illegal refugee, he was imprisoned in the state prizon at Veenhuizen, where he wrote a diary relating his experiences in 1938 in Vienna and Holland. The book goes on to tell of his survival during the war working on Dutch farms, acquiring forged documents from the underground, and hiding in Charlotte van Dijk's home in Utrecht from late 1942 onward. He even worked for the Dutch Psychotecnic Foundation in Utrect in 1943. His employers knew that he was a Jew and did not turn him in. The diary ends on December 31, 2938, with the question:" Where will I be next New Year's Eve?" The memoir completes this dramatic story.

Viewers joining the six-decade-long journey of Samuel Bak's works through this catalog, are presented with a multi-faceted experience - an encounter with an artist dealing head-on with the basic question of ''how'' underlying the language of art, with an artist debating with himself about the abstract, the figurative and the gamut between them. A unique and private experience through art.

''It was guarded by military police...we moved out, armed only with some pistols and hand grenades...'' This diary documents a little-known aspect of the Holocaust: the plight of Jewish ''free internees'' in Italy during WWII. It describes in vivid detail the unique predicament of Jewish residents following the passage of the Nazi racial laws in Italy. The lucid descriptions are enhanced by outstanding drawings of the area and events of the time.
