The Boy on the Wooden Box: How the Impossible Became Possible … on Schindler’s List is a memoir by Leon Leyson. Leyson depicts his experiences as a Jewish boy in Poland at the onset of Nazi occupation. He describes life in the ghettos and labor camps, torn from his family members and from any sort of “normal” youth. Leyson was one of the fortunate ones that made it onto “Schindler’s List,” and — probably solely for that reason — survived World War II. A story of luck and perseverance, Leyson’s memoir once again opens our eyes to the horrors of the Holocaust. Though the book is recommended by the publisher for those 9 to 14 years old, I would definitely recommend this book for adults as well.
