In James A. Grymes book, Violins of Hope (Violins of the Holocaust- Instruments of Hope and Liberation in Mankind’s Darkest Hour), he informs that the first Violins of Hope concert took place in 2007 in Paris, not Istanbul. Schlomo Mintz was the performer using Ole Bill’s violin, a famous Norwegian violinist whose violin had been played by survivor, Ernst Glasser. Read the book for details about his experience with Nazi Germany as a German who took Norwegian citizenship.

Also, Violins of Hope exhibit came to Pittsburgh, PA in October 2023 for 2 months of collaborative and interfaith programming, times to commemorate the 5 year anniversary of the Tree of Life shooting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.219.175.247 (talk) 14:06, 28 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
