Calling all music lovers! Kol Shalom’s next book discussion will focus on the heroic efforts of the distinguished violinist, Bronislaw Huberman, who saved hundreds of musicians from Nazi murder by bringing them to Palestine and organizing the Palestine Symphony Orchestra, which later won the imprimatur of no less a musical personality than Arturo Toscanini, who conducted it. The title is: Orchestra of Exiles: The Story of Bronislaw Huberman,

the Israel Philharmonic, and the One Thousand Jews He Saved from Nazi Horrors, by Josh Aronson and Denise George. Discussions are informal and readers are welcome whenever you would like to participate.
