Book of the Day - 4/19/2016

Leyson, Leon.  
THE BOY ON THE WOODEN BOX
Antheneum, 2013


Holocaust survivor Leon Leyson was only ten-years-old when World War II reached his home in Poland. In this memoir he straightforwardly recounts his memories of his life before, during, and after the war. He attributes his survival to the brave efforts of Oskar Schindler, a Nazi who recognized the value of his life and the lives of other Jews working in his factory.
