MA-RA-VI-LLO-SO. Había leído libros sobre Auschwitz y los campos de concentración, pero nunca había visto esta historia desde el punto de vista de un judío que vivió en el guetto de Cracovia, y que fue parte de la lista Schindler, película de gran repercusión. Me ha emocionado de principio a fin. 100% recomendable

it's hard to make time and space for these kind of books you know will rip your heart out. i also feel like if i've read a couple books and seen a couple movies and learned about it in school and on the news, i think i'm all set in learning about the Holocaust. but this was maybe the best book i've read. yes, it's for young adults, but that just makes it accessible. he answers every question i ever had in my mind when reading/learning about this subject. "why did/didn't the Jewish people do X?", "how could X have happened to them?", "why didn't they flee at the first signs of war?", "people treated them better after the war, surely", and on and on. such a simple storytelling, so honest, and so humble. i may have just had better context for things upon this Holocaust reading, but honestly this was the most useful of the books on the subject i've read. thank you Leon for sharing your story, and thank you Oskar Schindler for sticking your neck out when you didn't have to.

It's considered a YA book so an easy read but also very touching. The author was only 10 when Germans invaded Poland. He lost two brothers during the holacost but thanks to Oskar Schindler, his parents, his sister, a brother and himself survived. I'm so glad he decided to share his story :)

Leon Leyson bravely shares his story of survival during WWII. It is at times difficult to read, and does share vividly at times, the atrocious things that took place in concentration camps and cities during the war. It is important to understand what took place during this time, and I'm glad Leon shared his story.
