The man born Leib Lejzon was the youngest of the Jewish Holocaust survivors employed by Oskar Schindler during World War II, a story later immortalized in the film Schindler’s List.  Leyson began working in Schindler’s enamelware factory in 1943 at just 13 years of age. Though his two older brothers died during the Holocaust, Leyson’s parents, sister and another brother survived because of Schindler’s efforts. Leon now travels the country telling his story.  Please join the Bas Bleu Theatre Company for this unprecedented historical event.  For more information, go to www.basbleu.org.
