The acclaimed best-selling classic of Holocaust literature, winner of the Booker Prize and the inspiration for the classic film Schindler's List.

In the shadow of Auschwitz, a flamboyant German industrialist grew into a living legend to the Jews of Cracow. He was a womaniser, a heavy drinker and a bon viveur, but to them he became a saviour. A stunning novel based on the extraordinary true story of German war profiteer and factory director Oskar Schindler, who came to save more Jews from the gas chambers than any other single person during World War II.

In this milestone of Holocaust literature, Thomas Keneally, author of Daughter of Mars, uses the actual testimony of the Schindlerjuden - Schindler’s Jews - to brilliantly portray the courage and cunning of a good man in the midst of unspeakable evil.

Having never seen the film, I downloaded the book. I was slightly concerned that I would find the subject too difficult to see the book through.
I have listened with admiration, optimism and sometimes joy to the actions taken by Oskar and those around him to thwart the horrors of that time.
I particularly like the fact that the story is told from the memories of those who lived through it with no attempt to fictionalise dialogue. It is beautifully researched and put together.
A combination of food for the soul and warnings from history.

Beautifully told story of hope

A very gripping powerful, balanced, nuanced, tense, horrific, even humourous but so so moving account that sheds real light on the workings Holocaust. If you think you know the story having seen the film then think again.
Very well constructed and read.

A story we all can learn from
