Violins of Hope

Tonight we had the pleasure of attending this at our local Public Broadcasting Studio in Peoria, Illinois. We heard stories of people who played these instruments during the Holocaust, how they were saved and restored. Also a short concert.

I love your collage, and especially the title. It’s always inspiring to hear how music was able to give people hope in the blackest of times

I remember the books and interviews about it. It is lucky in a way.

If anyone is interested, there is a film “Defiance” with Daniel Craig. Released in 2008. I found it at my library. It’s based on a true story of Mr. Weinstein’s grandparents. I haven’t watched it yet.
