Violins of Hope is a collection of 70 violins, viola and cello that were owned and played by Jewish musicians before and during the Holocaust. Many of the instruments survived ghettos, camps and hiding and now serve as living witnesses to history. Painstakingly restored by master violin makers Amnon and Avshalom Weinstein, the instruments are returned to concert stages and educational settings so their stories can continue to be told.

 “This is a historic opportunity for Iowa,” said Allan Ross, executive director of the Jewish Federation of the Quad Cities. “Bringing Violins of Hope to multiple communities across the state allows us to reach diverse audiences and create meaningful connections. This residency is about remembrance, education and hope. It is also about ensuring these stories are shared widely and thoughtfully so their lessons endure.”
