The Boy on The Wooden Box

STRAIGHT to the point,this story is about a REAL boy(you heard it) called Leon Leyson(name was actually Leib Lejzon he changed it). So here we go... Leon Leyson is one of the youngest Schindlerjuden,Jews saved by Oskar Schindler. The story is one of the best selling memoirs and touches the young fiery hearts of readers everywhere.Leyson was born Leon Lejzon in Narewka, Poland to Moshe Lejzon and Channah Lejzon on September 15, 1929. He had four siblings: Hershel, Tsalig, Pesza, and David. Leyson later recalled there being some division between Jews and gentiles in Narewka, including antisemitic jokes(a big nope-nope nowadays), or being chased away from a place for being a Jew on Christian holidays. However the village always stayed together. The story mainly tells the pain and hardship(not excluding fear) that the Jews had to experience whil being constantly moved from concentration camp to ghetto back to factories(without a work pass, Jews had to live in fear of being the next to be deported to extermination camps).

This book is on the more relatively sad type and I would strongly suggest those in the upper primary standard to read it.(Like really there are a lot of misery in this book)
