The Boy on the Wooden Box is the remarkable true story of Leon Leyson, one of the youngest children saved by Oskar Schindler during the Holocaust. At just ten years old, Leon's happy childhood in Poland is shattered when Nazi Germany invades, forcing his Jewish family into the Krakow ghetto and then into concentration camps. Through vivid, first-person storytelling, Leon describes the horrors he witnessed and the incredible luck and courage that kept him alive, culminating in his placement on Schindler's famous list. This memoir is ultimately a powerful testament to human resilience, the impact of one person's kindness, and the importance of remembering history.
