Better.net: JCC Chicago’s Violins of Hope Showcases Stories of Jewish Resilience Through Music

For 20 years, Israeli violinmakers Amnon and Avshalom (Avshi) Weinstein collected and restored Holocaust-era violins. The father and son duo presented these beautifully crafted string instruments worldwide through their project Violins of Hope — an international sensation showcasing Jewish stories of resilience, resistance and unity through the power of musical performance. The Jewish Community Center of Chicago (JCC Chicago) proudly welcomes Violins of Hope to Chicago and the surrounding Illinois areas from April to September.
