Love for Violin Unites Korean American and Holocaust Survivor
Joe Rosato, Jr. from NBC News Bay Area reports:
Just as the violin became young Arben's family following the death of his entire family in the Holocaust, Jackson-Picht became part of his familial constellation in his later years. It's a friendship that stretched across cultural lines in the grand tradition of the great melting pot.
"He’s such an extraordinary individual I don’t want to just reap the benefits of his life and story teaching me, inspiring me," Jackson Picht said. "I want to share that with other people."
“It’s such a great example of how music is a bridge across cultures. It connects humanity in a way I don’t think anything else does.”
