Strings of Jewish Resistance and Resilience

Description:
At the heart of Violins of Hope – Wisconsin, presented by Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra (MYSO), is a collection of restored string instruments played by Jewish musicians before and during the Holocaust. Each violin carries a story, bearing witness to atrocity in the face of adversity and honoring those who turned to music for solace and survival.
