Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the 2020 Miami Jewish Film Festival and the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the 2020 Atlanta Jewish Film Festival, Saul & Ruby’s Holocaust Survivor Band tells the story of Saul (94, drummer) and Ruby (90, accordion), both Holocaust survivors and musicians with an insatiable lust for life. In 2015 they formed The Holocaust Survivor Band, the first of its kind. Their dream was to one day perform their music in Poland, their homeland where they endured unimaginable trauma. Their mission then, and now, is to spread a message of world peace at a time when anti-Semitism and prejudice are growing throughout the world. Through the sharing of their music and stories, they have learned that they are also healing their own wounds while revealing their resilience.
