He then recounts how they were saved by Oskar Schindler, a German businessman who employed them in his factory and protected them from Nazi persecution. The memoir provides a unique perspective on the Holocaust, as Leyson was able to witness both the worst atrocities of the Nazi regime and the rare acts of kindness and bravery that saved his life. "The Boy on the Wooden Box" is a powerful and moving account of one boy's resilience and survival during one of the darkest periods of human history.
