    Many thanks for share this wonderful story. It would be a dream to have this violin available for the record of my six partitas for solo violin Shoah for Violin and Sacred Temple…I’ll do my best if it is possible.

    Norman, this is so beautiful. It often takes many decades for these life events to find their way through the years connecting people to people, spirits to spirits, souls to souls. I can only imagine the spiritual presence surrounding the violin, which I hope this young lady will be open to experiencing. Such a powerful story.
