A violin left behind by a 19-year old girl in a boxcar transporting Jewish prisoners to Auschwitz, came to life Sunday during a sold-out presentation of Violins of Hope, at the Arlington Heights Memorial Library. Patrons heard the story about the violin once owned by Valeria Teichner, before listening to award-winning violinist Aviva Chertok of Chicago play the haunting theme from the film, Schindler’s List.
