| Summary: | In his Tel Aviv workshop, full of scents of wood, varnish, and lacquer, Amnon Weinstein brings back life to violins that were abandoned or snatched from victims of the Holocaust. These violins bear on their soundboards, necks and soundholes the scars of the concentration camps or of their urgently escape from Nazi persecutors. Amnon has gathered 105 violins and a few cellos, which form the "Violins of Hope" collection. A kind of informal label that carries, through the greatest concert halls around the world, a memorial and universal message. |
