Haim – In the Light of A Violin, known in French as ‘Haim – A La Lumiere d’un Violon,’ tells the true story of Haïm Lipsky – a Polish Jew born in 1922 into a working-class family. Thanks to his passion for music, and his extraordinary skill with the violin, he went on to survive the hell of the Lodz ghetto and Auchwitz, where he played in the camp orchestra.

At the end of the war, he emigrated to Israel, where he gave up playing music, to became an electrician. However, he passed on his love of music to his children and grand-children, who are now all internationally renowned musicians.
