More about Saul Dreier: Saul, a Holocaust survivor from Poland, moved to Florida after World War II. At age 89, he decided to start a klezmer band to keep alive the music he grew up with, and through the music, to memorialize those who perished in the Holocaust . The band was invited to play around the world. A documentary of his amazing journey has been shown at many film festivals including our own Silicon Valley Jewish Film Festival (SVJFF) in 2020.
