The stringed survivors were brought back to life \u2013 and to the world \u2013 by a family of violin restorers spanning three generations. This is the true story of luthier Amnon Weinstein who took what might have become an exhibit of ruined instruments, restored them, and put them into the hands of musicians all over the world so that a new generation can hear them. The survivors of the Holocaust will not be here forever, but these violins will continue to tell their stories for generations to come.
