Stand for Israel  |  April 11, 2025

Now freed Agam Berger was gifted a violin that was from the time of the Holocaust, after the owner heard that Agam was a violinist. During March of the Living this year, freed Agam Berger will play the violin at Auschwitz, reports The Times of Israel:

Freed hostage and violinist Agam Berger will perform at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp during the 37th March of the Living ceremony on April 24 as part of an Israeli delegation of former captives, relatives of victims of the Hamas onslaught of October 7, 2023, Gaza border community residents, and Holocaust survivors…

Agam Berger, a surveillance soldier who was taken captive on October 7 and released in January, will perform along with Kibbutz Be’eri resident Daniel Weiss — a vocalist and guitarist whose parents were both killed on October 7 — playing a 130-year-old violin that survived the Holocaust and was brought to Israel.
