Violins of Hope Yom Hashoah Event

Hosted By: Orange County Jewish Community Scholar Program ("CSP")

In commemoration of Yom Hashoah, join CSP for a special event with Dr. James A. Grymes on his book Violins of Hope which was a winner of the National Book Award. 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 of the Israeli violinmaker dedicated to bringing these inspirational instruments back to life. The book, which composer John Williams described as “one of the most moving chronicles in the history of Western music,” presents a new way of understanding the Holocaust.”
