This is the 2nd time I've watched this in the past week. I thought I left a comment the 1st time around but I didn't. I'm 80 yrs old and have lived with that war all my life. The death tolls in those camps were inhumane to say the least. its unfathomable the treatments and death that went on there. so the history of that violin is heartfelt to say the least. I"m surprised it survived the came as well as it's owner. The sad part is the generation that 's out there today has very little knowledge of those atrocities. God bless and keep all 6 million souls that were lost. and bless their survivors. ECF
As a player of violins all my life ,I'm 66 now And own 2 violins 1 200 and one 400+ years old this hits a deep cord with me .
