The Boy On The Wooden Box

Description

Leon Leyson loved playing on the Krakow streetcars with his friends and tagging along after his older brothers. Then, suddenly, German soldiers were in his country, his city, and his home. Seemingly overnight, the life he knew vanished. The Third Reich wanted him, and every other Jew in Europe, dead. The darkest of times can unleash the worst in human nature—and also the best. Leon Leyson lived through those times. The Boy On The Wooden Box is his story.
