Title from container
The Boy in the Woods tells the remarkable true story of Max, a Jewish boy escaping Nazi persecution in Eastern Europe. After he is separated from his family, Max finds refuge with Christian peasant Jasko, who hides him in plain sight until a tense stand-off with Nazi police. Afraid for his own family's life, Jasko sends Max to live in the woods where he learns to survive alone. With echoes of a Grimms' Fairy Tale, Max's experience is both terrifying and magical. He inhabits a landscape crawling with Nazis, partisans and haunted by ghosts. Based on the best-selling memoir by Canadian Holocaust survivor Maxwell Smart and inspired by the award-winning documentary Cheating Hitler: Surviving The Holocaust
