1. "The Boy On The Wooden Box: How The Impossible Became Possible... On Schindler's List" is a memoir published by a former Schindler's list child, perfectly captures the innocence of a small boy who goes through the unthinkable. Leon Leyson (born Leib Lezjon) was only ten years old when the Nazis invaded Poland and his family was forced to relocate to the Krakow ghetto. With incredible luck, perseverance, and grit, Leyson was able to survive the sadism of the Nazis, including that of the demonic Amon Goeth, commandant of Plaszow, the concentration camp outside Krakow. Ultimately, it was the generosity and cunning of one man, Oskar Schindler, who saved Leon Leyson's life, his parents, and two of his four siblings, by adding their names to his list of workers in his factory—a list that became world renowned: Schindler's list. Told with an abundance of dignity and a remarkable lack of rancor and venom, The Boy on the Wooden Box is a legacy of hope, a memoir unlike anything you've ever read. Have you ever seen the movie "Schindler's List" (1993), winner of seven Academy Awards and directed by Steven Spielberg?

2. The theme song from Schindler's List composed by John Williams, is one of the most recognized contemporary film scores, particularly the violin solo. Having seen the movie several times, I always tear up when hearing this sad, haunting music. Do you think the movie and its theme song truly reflect this quote from Leo Tolstoy "If you feel pain, you are alive. If you feel other people's pain, you are a human being"?
