CBS Chicago: “Violins of Hope” brings stories of survival from Holocaust to Chicago
Recovered and restored after they were nearly lost during World War II, violins that have become a symbol of hope and survival will be on display in Chicago. Some of the violins were abandoned by their owners on the way to concentration camps during the Holocaust, while others were brought to the camps and prisoners were forced to play them. The instruments are part of a traveling display called “Violins of Hope”. They’re coming to the Chicago area for the first time in partnership with Cook County United Against Hate.
