Violins of Hope
As we move forward toward production, we're incorporating musical elements into our animation. We had the incredible honor to record violinist Marc Levine playing a piece composed by Minneapolis guitarist Tim Sparks. Marc is playing on a violin recovered from the Holocaust, which was part of the Violins of Hope exhibition that came to Minnesota in May and June.
A conversation with Milkweed’s author Jerry Spinelli
“I never thought of writing about the Holocaust. I think it was because I didn’t have the credentials. I wasn’t Jewish, I wasn’t there, I didn’t know anybody that was there, and there were already maybe literally a million books that had been written on the Holocaust so, what right had I?”
