A survivor of the Holocaust, who started a band called The Holocaust Survivor Band has been touring the world calling for peace.

Saul Dreier was born in Poland in 1925 and had a normal childhood until the Nazis arrived. After years spent in the Jewish ghettoes, then surviving concentration camps, he was liberated by the US army at the end of the Second World War. Dreier鈥檚 parents were murdered by the Nazis, as well as about 25 of his family members. He told Newsday about his story saying he "has no clue how he survived". Now 98, he plays the drums but says he first learned how to play with two metal spoons in a German concentration camp.
