Violins of Hope is a rare collection of restored violins played by Jewish musicians who both survived and perished during the Holocaust. Each instrument carries its own unique and haunting story of survival, hope, and human resilience.

More than 40 instruments will be on display along with their individual stories. More than 20 of these instruments will be played by University of Kentucky students in an extraordinary concert on February 14. The concert is ticketed.
