Join Cantor Altshul for a guided tour of the Violins of Hope exhibition.

For the first time in New York, the Violins of Hope will be on exhibition in the Herbert & Eileen Bernard Museum of Judaica, each a living testament to those we lost, to the triumph of survival and to the power of music — even in our darkest days. Each violin will be displayed alongside photographs and the story of its journey as their bittersweet music fills the museum.

The violins on display at the Violins of Hope exhibition will be accompanied by a powerful series of photographs by Daniel Levin that document Amnon Weinstein, the man behind Violins of Hope, and his masterful restoration processes. The accompanying book to this photographic series, Violins of Hope: From the Holocaust to Symphony Hall, won the 2022 Independent Publisher’s National Gold Award for History.
