"Leon's Story" by Susan L. Roth follows the journey of a young boy named Leon who faces the harsh realities of being a Jewish child during the Holocaust. Through his eyes, readers experience the loss of his childhood as he navigates fear, separation from his family, and the struggle to survive in a world filled with danger and uncertainty. Despite the overwhelming challenges, Leon's resilience and hope shine through his experiences. The story is powerfully illustrated and serves as a poignant reminder of courage and the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
