Violins of Hope East Bay
The East Bay Holocaust Education Center (EBHEC) is honored to announce two concerts featuring the world-famous “Violins of Hope” to be held at the Bankhead Theater in Livermore on October 18 and 19, 2026. The Violins of Hope is a collection of restored violins, violas, and cellos that were played by Jewish musicians during the Holocaust. These instruments have survived pogroms, ghettos, concentration camps and long journeys, and represent remarkable stories of injustice, suffering, resilience, and survival. The restorations were carefully done by famous Israeli violin maker Amnon Weinstein and his son Avshi. Avshi will be speaking at each concert to tell stories of some of the violins.
