Instruments Of Hope Unity Fund Continues Violins Of Hope’s Alabama Legacy

By Karim Shamsi-Basha

Violins of Hope were played as Jews walked to their deaths at Holocaust camps during World War II. The sounds of those instruments in Birmingham last year heralded another purpose in promoting human rights, social justice and inter-religious dialogue.

Jeffrey and Gail Bayer brought the Violins of Hope to Birmingham after being touched by their profound and gripping story. Now, the Bayers have launched the Instruments of Hope Unity Fund, which will continue the legacy of the Violins of Hope and the ideals they promote.

“Everyone who worked on Violins of Hope made the decision that with all the effort, it would be a shame to see it end after the four-day event,” Jeffrey Bayer said. “We decided to make it a jumping off point for an initiative that will continue for a long time, and one which will make a difference.”
