For one unforgettable night, experience a stirring tribute to hope and heroism as "The Rescue: A Live Film-Concerto" illuminates the remarkable story of how Col. José Arturo Castellanos saved tens of thousands of Jewish lives. This unique event, blending cinematic documentary with a live musical score, will feature for the very first time a rare Holocaust violin from Mexico's Museum of Memory and Tolerance, personally escorted by the museum's curator, making this a truly historic occasion.

Coronel Jose Castellanos, a Salvadoran Diplomat, saved thousands of Jewish lives during the Holocaust. He was very humble and it wasn't until many years after the war, his grandsons Alvaro and Boris Castellanos, learned about their grandfather's bravery. They are sharing his story around the world, through film and concert.

Through a powerful fusion of documentary filmmaking and live music, featuring a rare violin brought for this special performance from The Holocaust Museum in Mexico, this performance brings to life the incredible legacy of a hero who risked everything to make a difference. Your ticket not only honors his memory but supports the continued sharing of this inspiring tale of hope and resilience. Join us to be moved, inspired, and part of a global tribute to a true beacon of light in dark times.
