The stringed survivors were brought back to life – and to the world – by a family of violin restorers spanning three generations. This is the true story of luthier Amnon Weinstein who took what might have become an exhibit of ruined instruments, restored them, and put them into the hands of musicians all over the world so that a new generation can hear them. The survivors of the Holocaust will not be here forever, but these violins will continue to tell their stories for generations to come. Produced by The Braid in their signature style of Salon Theatre, Stories From the Violins of Hope is a 55-minute filmed performance featuring seven professional actors with music performed by five musicians from the Los Angeles Jewish Symphony.
Stories from the Violins of Hope has been screened by The United Nations Outreach Programme on the Holocaust, reaching 30 countries. The film was also an Official Selection in the 2002 Greenwich International Film Festival and won the 2023 Ojai Film Festival. It has been broadcast to 15 Latin-American countries in Spanish and Portuguese, and shared in communities across the U.S. from Santa Barbara to Staten Island.
