Through the voice of survivor Cantor David S. Wisnia and the music of his grandson Avi Wisnia, you will hear of David's incredible journey from Auschwitz prisoner to survivor and liberator. Singing together, grandfather and grandson will perform original compositions to illustrate this incredible story of strength and resiliency, of faith and hope, and the power of music to bring light to the darkest of days.
