The European Division and The Hebrew Language Table at the Library of Congress in cooperation with the Embassy of the Czech Republic and the Rabin Chair Forum at George Washington University present Violins of Hope [cid:image001.jpg@01D2A247.483E0ED0] Lecture by Amnon Weinstein and Avshalom Weinstein Musical Performance by Hannah Tarley Thursday, March 23, at 12:00 Noon Mumford Room, 6th floor Madison Building, Library of Congress Amnon Weinstein has spent the last two decades locating and restoring violins that were played by Jewish musicians during the Holocaust. After growing up to become one of the most respected violin makers in the world, Weinstein started locating violins that were played by Jews in the camps and ghettos and repaired them so they could be brought to life again on the concert stage. Although most of the musicians who originally played the instruments were silenced by the Holocaust, their voices and spirits live on through the violins. He calls these instruments the Violins of Hope. His son Avshalom, a third-generation luthier, will tell us the story behind each of the violins. A musical performance using one of the rescued violins will be given by world-renowned violinist Hannah Tarley.
