The Boy on the Wooden Box

My essential question was: What was life after the Holocaust? In the book The Boy on the Wooden Box it talks about Leon’s life inside a camp. Leon was nearly 10 when the Germans arrived in Poland, the Germans took many of his rights and then abruptly sent him to a ghetto. The author states that in the ghetto they, “...were packed like sardines into too few rooms, but those rooms were in normal apartment buildings.(113)”Leon was later transferred to a labor camp, and there he was separated from his family. Schindler helped his family by taking them with him and then setting them free. After Leon left the camp, he went back to Krakow and then moved to the U.S. In the article “ “ , it is about a woman named Ms.Fahidi and she tells her story of what happened during and after the Holocaust. According to the article, “Ms. Fahidi lost 49 relatives in the Holocaust, including her mother and sister Gilike, then 11. Her last glimpse of them was on the ramp at Birkenau, where arriving Jews were sorted…” She lost most of her family and was alone after she was liberated. Unlike Leyson, Ms.Fahidi was sent to the camp when she was 18, and she recalls that the camp was not ready yet. After a long time of being alone she found out she had a distant aunt and uncle, and she went to live with them. She later met her future husband through Marximism and wasn't alone anymore. Then officials were looking for survivors so they could ask for forgiveness, so in 2003 Ms.Fahidi went back to Auschwitz. After her visit she decided to write a memoir , ““Because much repeats in history, and if you don’t know what happened and what consequences it has, then it can happen very quickly again.” She found out that a guard from the camp was going to be tried, and she hoped that justice could win.
