About the Collection

\n

Israeli violinmakers\, Amnon and Avshalom Weinstein\, have spent the last 20 years collecting and repairing 70 Holocaust-era violins and other stringed instruments from around the world\, some with the Star of David o n the back and others with names and dates inscribed in the instrument. To gether they have lovingly located and restored the violins to reclaim thei r lost heritage\, give voice to the victims and reinforce essential messag es of hope\, harmony\, and humanity.

\n

The violins have traveled to cities across the globe\, including Rome\, Tel Aviv\, Berlin\, Cleveland\, London\, Washington D.C.\, Sarasota\, Birmingham\, Fort Wayne\, Phoenix\, San Francisco/East Bay\, Los Angeles County\, Richmond and now Chicago.
