Violins of Hope, instruments played by Jewish musicians before and during the Holocaust, arrive at gailbrdnlibrary.
The project is a series of concerts and exhibits based on a collection of string instruments that were played by Jewish musicians before and during the Holocaust. Each one was carefully restored by the father-and-son team of Amnon and Avshalom"Avshi" Weinstein in Tel Aviv, Israel.
It seemed predestined that Weinstein would one day help keep that history alive. His mother's family was part of the resistance against the Nazis in what was then eastern Poland. In fact, his maternal grandfather and his two great-uncles were the inspiration for the film"Defiance" starring Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber.
"The majority of these are very, very simple instruments," Weinstein said."The Nazis knew what good art was and confiscated those.""We try to bring them all to life, to bring them to the top of what they can do," he said. And while the violins are not on par with a Stradivarius, the history they bring is just as valuable.
