Author Of Book About Violins And The Holocaust Visits Birmingham
By Karim Shamsi-Basha
The story of the Holocaust is disturbing, in part, because of the instruments of death used to kill millions.
But there were other instruments associated with those lost that have inspired a movement of remembrance and a book by James Grymes.
“The one thing I learned from writing ‘Violins of Hope’ is that the Holocaust is not a story of 6 million deaths, it’s 6 million different stories,” Grymes told more than 300 gathered at Temple Emanu-El in Birmingham on Sunday.Grymes was in the Magic City to kick off the campaign that will bring the historic violins to Birmingham for a concert and educational opportunities next year. Violins will be in Birmingham April 10-15 along with Amnon Weinstein and Avshalom Weinstein, the father and son who restore them.
