Violins of Hope: Strings of Jewish Resistance and Resilience
November 5, 2025 – January 25, 2026
Jewish Museum Milwaukee is proud to present Violins of Hope— a powerful and emotionally resonant collection of restored stringed instruments that tell the stories of Jewish musicians during one of the darkest chapters in history, the Holocaust. These violins stand as powerful tributes to the courage and resilience of those who turned to music as a source of solace and survival. Through this remarkable exhibit, we seek to educate, inspire, and honor the enduring power of the human spirit. Join us in celebrating music as a profound force for healing, remembrance, and hope.
