Mazal Tov to Holocaust survivor Saul Dreier, who is celebrating his 100th birthday today! Born in Kraków, Poland, Saul was the only member of his family to survive the Holocaust. He survived the Kraków Ghetto and several concentration camps, including Plaszów, Auschwitz, Mauthausen, and Linz. After the war, Saul was sent to a Displaced Persons camp in Italy where he learned to play the drums. In 2014, he put those drum skills to use when he founded the Holocaust Survivor Band with fellow Floridian and Holocaust survivor Ruby Sosnowicz. Today, Saul shares his story around the world and spreads a message of peace through his Klezmer music. Thank you, Saul, for reminding us that Jewish joy is an act of resilience. Please help me wish him a very happy and healthy 100th birthday!! Source: Jill Goltzer
