For Avshi Weinstein, Violins of Hope are more than instruments he restores. They are a mission, and a history.

Weinstein came to Birmingham last week for a few educational programs in preparation for the violins’ debut in Birmingham April 10-15. He spent the week showing four of the famed violins to school and civic groups.

On Oct. 11, he visited the Jewish Community Center Day School.“Today, I came here to speak to the kids at the JCC day school to tell them about our project, to share stories of the violins, and we were very fortunate to have a violinist so they could hear the sound of them being played,” Weinstein said. “The sound is very close to the same sound that was heard during the war.”
