Great Story, Amazing book. I read this book on paperback for a school book club, and enjoyed it a lot. The author described his experiences in a way that was easy to understand, but still know the sorrow and challenges he faced. If you want to know more about the Holocaust, but with a happy ending, this book is definitely a must read.

A very touching story. I read this story with my mom, and needless to say, this changed my life and perspective.

Boy on the Wooden Box. Wowwwwww! Absolutely outstanding! Couldn't put the book down until I finished it. Be prayed for tears!

I love it. I was reading this book just for fun until I got to about page 168 about that time I started writing it down so i could read it anywhere if only I could of learned what happened from Hershel And Tsaligs

The Boy on the Wooden Box. This is an amazing book to use in a middle school class. I can't wait to share it with my students.

Inspiring. I'm not avid reader, and even more I'm not one to write a review on something, but this book is something different and needs to be spoken about and shared. The Holocaust is something I've always had a fascination with due to the sheer terror of the event and the fact that it's hard to think that humans can be capable of such horror. Leon Leyson is a remarkable story teller, being able to share the narrative of his tragic childhood. The unimaginable terror that Leon and his family had experienced is gut wrenching and unexplainable; however, within the tragedy that resides within these pages lies a sense of peace in the end. Not a peace that leaves one to forget, but a peace that only keeps alive the memories of those who lost so much. Thanks Leon for sharing your story as I can only imagine how difficult it was to continue to retell and relive those terrible memories. You have taught so many people so much, and have humbled me to never forget how fortunate I am for what I have been given. I hope for that same realization for all who read this amazing story of courage, perseverance, and sheer determination. Rest in peace Leon Leyson!

Wonderful book. I could not put this book down. It was fascinating and heart breaking as well. Very well written.

A heart touching tragedy. This book both gave me a better view on the suffrage of the Jews of the Holocaust, and touched my heart to know what they went through without giving up. If people could hold as much kindness and as much courage as this man did after his horrific youth today, the world would be changed forever. Words cannot express the amount of respect and the special place in my heart that this story will have with me for the rest of my life. This book was worth every minute. Thank you for this.

The Boy On The Wooden Box. Leyson's autobiographical tale begins in a happy, carefree childhood in Poland and describes the disintegration of respect for humanity with the German invasion of Poland, the internment of the Jews and his personal physical, social, and psychological trauma throughout. When Schindler adds him into his factory, he is saved from death several times more and share with us his view of humanity and heroism. Leyson goes on to document his personal experience with freedom and his gradual success with full integration into American life. Throughout it all he demonstrates a capacity to focus on the essentials in life and as an adult to find joy in the simple pleasures of life.

The boy on the wooden box. Unbelievable, heart breaking, a private look into the hell this family went through at the hands of hate

it made me cry. I am 11 years old and this was my summer reading book for rising sixth grade. This was my first book about the Holocaust because i was too scared i would cry which i did. I will recommend this book to anyone who wants a book that is amazing and sad. I can wait to watch Schindler's List with my mother.

Great book. This book is a good book for the study of World War Two holocaust study and is very informational about everything that went on in the holocaust and I recommend this book highly.
