Holocaust Book Club Reflections

THE BOY ON THE WOODEN BOX 1. In the book “ THE BOY ON THE WOODEN BOY,” the main character Leon leyson shows me that I should be happy and not everything will go perfect. He shows that we should also hope for the better, he hoped when he was being punished or tortured. Leyson was also very brave when he was at the concentration camp of the Nazis.  2.  The choices people made during the rise of the Nazi Party and the Holocaust teach us about the power and impact of our choices and how easily small choices can escalate into something bigger, the laws go from simply losing your job or forced to not being able to go to the beach, which was easily overcome, to being forced to change your name to something easily identifiable and had to wear a yellow star that marked you as a Jew. These choices that the Nazis made that were small at first slowly but then started going to more serious laws.
