Music brings together people of all backgrounds, unifying them for the measures and notes of a song. Music is also an especially powerful educational tool—something visitors to The National WWII Museum will experience firsthand when the Violins of Hope arrive in New Orleans in January 2023. Violins of Hope is a project of concerts based on a private collection of violins, violas, and cellos all collected since the end of World War II, many of which belonged to Jews before and during the war.
