‘Symphony of the Holocaust’ film chronicles Holocaust survivor’s musical legacy
The Hungarian violin prodigy Shony Alex Braun endured countless horrors in the Nazi concentration camps, but music helped keep him alive.
The documentary Symphony of the Holocaust, by Executive Producer Garrett Sutton and Producers Greg DeHart, Paul Dzilvelis and Paul Freedman, chronicles Braun’s musical journey through the Holocaust and the eventual composition and performance of his Symphony of the Holocaust decades after the war’s end.
The film also documents the efforts of Braun’s daughter, Dinah Braun Griffin, to realize her father’s dream for his symphony to beperformed at the gates of the notorious Nazi death camp at Auschwitz.
Beyond Braun’s remarkable story of survival, the Symphony of the Holocaust film shows individuals transcending boundaries of geography, nationality and faith to bring the beauty of music to a place that saw some of the world’s deepest darkness.
