Why I started a Holocaust survivors’ band

Saul Dreier was 89 years old when he bought his first drum kit and started a klezmer band

Saul Dreier is a Holocaust survivor and musician. He’s always tried to find the joy in life – even in Nazi concentration camps where he taught himself to play the spoons. After World War Two, he moved to the US and stopped playing music. That is until he was 89 years old, when he felt the urge to buy a drum kit and start a klezmer band.
