The Holocaust had silenced them… until an extraordinary violin-maker brought their voices back to life, and to the world.
Six actors and four musicians bring to life the extraordinary story of violins played in ghettos, forests and concentration camps...and of the passionate Israeli violin maker determined to restore them. Now heard in performances all over the world, they are called the Violins of Hope.
