"The compelling biography of the violinist who founded the Palestine Symphony Orchestra and saved hundreds of people from Hitler as seen in Josh Aronson's documentary Orchestra of Exiles."--Provided by publisher.

In the early 1930's Hitler began firing Jewish musicians across Europe. Overcoming extraordinary obstacles, violinist Bronislaw Huberman moved these great musicians to Palestine and formed a symphony that would become the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. With courage, resourcefulness and an entourage of allies including Arturo Toscanini and Albert Einstein, Huberman saved nearly 1000 Jews-and guaranteed the survival of Europe's musical heritage.
