Changes

Sadly, Leon Leyson didn't live to see his book published. He died in January 2013, just one day after his manuscript was received by his US editor. But the important thing is that he lived a long life after World War II ended, thanks to Oskar Schindler. He finished the education interrupted by the Nazis. He had a profession and a career. He fell in love, got married and had children and grandchildren whom he loved and who loved him back. All thanks to Oskar Schindler. And eventually, he came to terms with his past. These are things to be thankful for. And they are also things that make ''The Boy on the Wooden Box'' the perfect companion to ''The Diary of Anne Frank''. In the middle of all that horror and darkness, there were pockets of hope and light.
