Description
A documentary exploring the life of Polish violinist Bronislaw Huberman, whose extraordinary efforts saved hundreds of Jews from the approaching Holocaust. Before the Nazis came to power, Huberman was focused only on building his career. But witnessing Hitler?s agenda was a call to action that Huberman could not ignore, prompting a personal transformation and subsequent heroic struggle to get Jewish musicians out of Europe, leading to the founding of the orchestra that would become the Israel Philharmonic.
