The power of musicIn 1946, 23-year-old Holocaust survivor Joseph Feingold exchanged a carton of cigarettes for a violin at a flea market in Germany. Seventy years later, Joe donates the instrument to a schoolgirl in the Bronx who has come through her own tribulations. The friendship that blossoms between this unlikely pair is a wonderful testament to the power of music to sustain us through the most difficult of trials, and the power that music has to draw us together across seemingly vast gulfs.

Heart-rendering, movingThe astonishing story of Francesco Lotoro, a professional pianist who is determined to preserve the music created clandestinely by inmates in concentration camps. For over 20 years this quiet hero has scoured Europe to find the aging composers before theyre gone and record their music. He has brought to life over 4000 scores, including symphonies, operas, folk songs, liturgical works, swing and Roma music representing another way Hitler failed to destroy non-Aryan culture.
