During the 1930s, when Hitler was establishing his grip on power, he expelled Jewish intellectuals, writers, poets and musicians from Germany. As the situation became more precarious for Jewish musicians, Bronislaw Huberman - one of the most prominent violinists of the twentieth century - gathered those musicians in an effort to establish an Israeli orchestra.

An inspirational documentary film, 'The Return of the Violin' illuminates the disasters of history alongside the wonders of life underscore the importance of Huberman's guiding values. The film was directed by Haim Hecht and produced by Roy Mandel.
