We are thrilled to partner with the Jewish Community Centers of Chicago (JCC Chicago) and present Violins of Hope, an initiative that showcases Jewish stories of resilience, resistance and unity through a collection of Holocaust-era violins. The collection will be on display at the Ottawa Street Branch from August 7-September 7, 2023.
