The Boy on the Wooden Box: How the Impossible Became Possible...on Schindler's List

232 pp. | Atheneum | August, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4424-9781-8 $16.99
(1) 4-6 Leon Leyson (born Leib Lejzon in 1929) acknowledges that he was "an unlikely survivor of the Holocaust," saved from extermination by his father's lucky place in Oskar Schindler's Kraków factory. Leyson's account of his childhood in pre-war Poland and under the Nazi occupation stands out for its brisk and unsentimental style and for its human scale. The tone is forthright and almost grandfatherly. Websites.
