Timeline

1909

Weinstein’s father, Moshe Weinstein who was born in 1909 in Poland, had studied the violin at the conservatoire in Vilnius, Lithuania, which was a part of Poland at that time.

He trained as a violin maker with Yaakov Zimmermann in Warsaw.

1938

In 1938 he emigrated to British Palestine and founded the luthier business of Weinstein in Tel Aviv.

One of his first works was servicing the Palestine Symphony Orchestra that had just been created by Bronislaw Huberman.

When the news of the persecution of the Jews in Germany reached Palestine, the musicians who had been fond of their German violins before, either broke them or burned them and some told Moshe that they would throw them away if he did not buy them.

So Weinstein’s father started to collect violins.

When he learned, after the war, that all his relatives he had left behind in Eastern Europe had been murdered, he suffered a heart attack.

From then on, Moshe Weinstein never wanted to talk about his family again.

Weinstein apprenticed with his father before he studied violin making in Cremona with Pietro Sgarabotto and Giuseppe Ornati and Ferdinando Garimberti.

Amnon Weinstein managed the Violins-of-Hope Collection together with his son Avshalom Weinstein who is a luthier in Istanbul.
