The Gibson ex-Huberman Stradivarius violin, which bears his name, was stolen twice and recovered once during the period in which he owned the instrument. Huberman is also remembered for founding the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra (then known as the Palestine Symphony Orchestra) and thus providing refuge from the Third Reich for nearly 1,000 European Jews.
