註釋David Arben was a violinist who loved life like nothing else. He experienced the loss of all those he held dear while yet a boy in war-torn Poland. David endured privation and torture in 7 Nazi detention facilities. En route to Dachau and the crematoria, Allied aircraft strafed and disabled his train, killing half those on board. He escaped during mass confusion, then a displaced person wandering the streets with no food or shelter. Joining other ex-concentration camp survivors, they formed an orchestra that later played for judges at the Nuremberg trials. Our subject crossed multiple borders without adequate money or documents, following his dream to pursue further violin study. Within a few weeks of sailing the Atlantic and speaking only rudimentary English, he secured a letter of recommendation from Leonard Bernstein and auditioned at America's premier music school, gaining immediate admission. After finishing formal studies Arben quickly secured employment and began performing around the globe. David Arben retired as Associate Concertmaster of the Philadelphia Orchestra, soloing with them 27 times.
