It was an emotional event at UNESCO’s Paris headquarters on the occasion of the Holocaust Remembrance Day event on January 26. The violinist Robert Davidovici played Spanish composer Jorge Grundman’s heart-breaking Shoah for Solo Violin, inspired, as the composer said, by Jewish children’s drawings at a Prague exhibition − the only reminders of their existence. He decided to write this piece to serve as a further remembrance. One of the speakers was Mrs. Isabelle Choko, the 95-year-old president of an organization representing the deportees to Auschwitz.
