A refugee in Germany plays piano to bring attention to war in Syria

Aeham Ahmad grew up in the Palestinian refugee camp of Yarmouk, on the outskirts of Damascus. When his home was destroyed in the war, he rolled his piano through the rubble and just played — to counter the suffering.

Today, he plays in Germany as an artist trying to tell the world about the war and terror in Syria.
