Join Nashville Public Television and the Gordon Jewish Community Center in the screening and discussion of VIOLINS OF HOPE. This is a beautiful haunting film that reveals a bright spot following one of the darkest chapters in history. For Jews during the Holocaust, there was little reprieve from the despair and horror surrounding them. But music--particularly that of violins, which hold an important role in Jewish culture--offered temporary solace and a glimmer of humanity. Narrated by Adrian Brody, the film follows the journey of Israeli violinmaker Amnon Weinstein in his efforts to restore violins recovered from the Holocaust.
