Leon Leyson (born Leib Lezjon) was only ten years old when the
Nazis invaded Poland and his family was forced to relocate to the
Krakow ghetto. With incredible luck, perseverance and grit, Leyson
was able to survive the sadism of the Nazis, including that of the
demonic Amon Goeth, commandant of Plaszow, the concentration camp
outside Krakow. Ultimately, it was the generosity and cunning of
one man, a man named Oskar Schindler, who saved Leon Leyson's life,
and the lives of his mother, his father, and two of his four
siblings, by adding their names to his list of workers in his
factory - a list that became world renowned: Schindler's List.
This, the only memoir published by a former Schindler's List child,
perfectly captures the innocence of a small boy who goes through
the unthinkable. Most notable is the lack of rancour, the lack of
venom, and the abundance of dignity in Mr Leyson's telling. The Boy
on the Wooden Boxis a legacy of hope, a memoir unlike anything
you've ever read.
