Chicago Tribune: Violins from the Holocaust arrive in Chicago
It’s a cardinal rule of history exhibits: Look, don’t touch.
Violins of Hope, a touring collection of instruments that passed through Jewish families during and after World War II, has a different philosophy. For the next five months, you won’t just see these instruments around Chicagoland — in libraries, in classrooms, in Jewish community centers and synagogues. You’ll also hear them in the hands of local ensembles, from the Grant Park Festival Orchestra to musicians from the Civic Orchestra of Chicago.
