For 39 years, Leon Leyson taught Industrial Arts at Huntington Park High School in Los Angeles, influencing the lives of thousands of young students. Until 1993, when the feature film "Schindler's List" debuted, Leyson did not talk publicly about what he and his family went through during the Holocaust. He is one of the youngest surviving members of 1,200 Polish Jews whose lives were saved by Oskar Schindler, when he employed them to work in his factories during World War II. Leyson was 10 years-old when the war started and 13 when he worked for Schindler. Leyson's amazing journey from Holocaust survivor to gifted Los Angeles teacher and Southern California resident is documented in the half-hour news special, "A Child on Schindler's List," airing on NBC4 Los Angeles, Saturday, December 20th at 6:30PM, with an encore presentation on Sunday, December 21st at 11:35PM.
