MyStateLine.com: ‘Violins of Hope’ arrive in Chicago

The “Violins of Hope World Tour” has arrived in Chicago, bringing a message of unity and acceptance with it.

Some of the violins were on display at the Jewish Community Center in Lakeview on Tuesday. The violins are a collection of 70 restored WWII-era instruments, each linked to holocaust victims and survivors.

JCC Chicago partnered with the “Cook County United Against Hate” campaign and other community groups to bring the showcase to Chicago.
