At the tender age of 14, Saul faced the horrors of World War II. From the confines of ghettos to the harsh realities of labor camps, from the despair of Schindler’s Factory to the brutality of Mauthausen Concentration Camp, he emerged as the sole survivor of his family, his spirit unbroken. In the face of unimaginable adversity, his passion for music served as a beacon of hope, sustaining his will to survive. Having found refuge in America, he transformed his pain into purpose, traveling the country and playing music—a testament to the healing power of music and the indomitable strength of the human spirit.
