"Based on a true story, Run Boy Run is about a 9-year old Jewish boy who escapes the Warsaw Ghetto, and survives in the Nazi-occupied Polish countryside. When Srulik is running from the Nazis and meets his father dying in the field, his father gives him a Polish name, Jurek Staniak, so that he will blend in with Christian people. Jurek learns about the many types of people one encounters during his or her life."--Ministry of Education website.
