Melissa Jensen’s life takes a dramatic turn when her father accepts a teaching assignment in a small town in the remote Midwest, far from her home in New York City. Though the college town seems to offer more than she ever suspected, for the first time in her life Melissa must personally navigate antisemitism and racism. Her choice to speak out should be clear-cut, but life is never that simple. The Violin Players examines the price we pay when bigotry is met with silence.
