A stirring testament to the strength of the human spirit and the power of music, Violins of Hope tells the remarkable stories of violins played by Jewish musicians during the Holocaust, and the Israeli violin maker dedicated to bringing these inspirational instruments back to life. Juxtaposing tales of individual violins with one man's harrowing struggle to reconcile his own family's history and the history of his people, musicologist James A. Grymes' 2014 National Jewish Book Award winning story provides a poignant and affecting look at the Holocaust and its enduring impact.
Join Dr. Grymes as he shares the stories of these remarkable instruments. With musical accompaniment by world-renowned klezmer violinist, Jake Shulman-Ment.
A book signing will follow the event.
This program is funded in part by the Consul General of the Federal Republic of Germany, New York.
