The Boy on the Wooden Box - Book Trailer

The Boy on the Wooden Box

by Leon Leyson

Creator's Note:

It should be recognized that all of the photographs borrowed from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum are actual photographs of the Krakow Ghetto, Plaszow Concentration Camp, and of Oskar Schindler's Emalia Factory. Since there were no photos available of the inside of the Plaszow barracks, I chose to borrow another photo of the barracks at Buchenwald that contains Elie Wiesel, who recently passed away. My attempt to keep the photographs from the actual events and places that Leon Leyson encountered is in an effort to keep this trailer as authentic as possible. 

Thanks for watching!
