"Symphony of the Holocaust" was screened at the National Automobile Museum on Sunday morning, in partnership with Jewish Nevada and Temple Emanu-El - Reno as a part of the Northern Nevada Jewish Film Festival. The screening was held at Reno's National Automobile Museum. 

"As a community, we're gathering here today and we're glad to be able to share our arts and culture with the community at large, as well as our local Jewish community," said Jewish Nevada Director of Community Engagement Mara Langer.

We spoke to "Symphony of the Holocaust" Producer and Director Greg Dehart. 

"The film is about taking something horrible and making something beautiful from it. It's also an amazing trial of survival: a prodigy Jewish violinist who at 13 years old was taken and his entire family taken to the Auschwitz death camp in World War II," explained DeHart.

After surviving four concentration camps as a 13-year-old child prodigy, Hungarian Shony Alex Braun moved to Los Angeles, started a family, and became a world-renowned musician and composer.

Braun created a significant portion of his symphony in his mind as a survival mechanism while he was a captive in the camps. However, he eventually debuted the 'Symphony of the Holocaust' in 1988. His dream was to perform the symphony in front of the infamous Auschwitz-Birkenau gates, the very place where he was once held captive.

Unfortunately, Braun passed away before he could fulfill his dream. However, the documentary showcases the emotional journey of his family as they went to Auschwitz last year to witness their father's symphony being performed on Braun's violin by an Armenian violinist, whose family had also been persecuted.

"It's a universal story. It is not only a Jewish story. It's a story of other religions. It's a story of Armenians and the genocide that they went through, but in the end it's a hopeful story, it's a story about making something beautiful from something horrible," explained DeHart.
