Book Overview

In remembrance of the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz and the Nazi concentration camps, this award-winning, bestselling work of Holocaust fiction, inspiration for the classic film and "masterful account of the growth of the human soul" (Los Angeles Times Book Review), returns with an all-new introduction by the author. An "extraordinary" (The New York Review of Books) novel based on the true story of how German war profiteer and factory director Oskar Schindler 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 The Book of Science and Antiquities and The 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. "Astounding...in this case the truth is far more powerful than anything the imagination could invent" (Newsweek). This description may be from another edition of this product.

The thing I like about this story is it forces the reader to examine what makes a man good vs. what makes...

forget the simplistic movie

"Oskar had done nothing astounding before the war and been unexceptional since. He was fortunate, therefore, that in that short fierce era between 1939 and 1945 he had met people who summoned forth his deeper talents." -comment by Emilie Schindler to a German TV documentary crewThis, of course, is the essential mystery of Oskar Schindler. How was it that this charismatic but morally ambiguous...

A flawed man doing Great Things

[My last review was botched in transmission. Please forgive the resubmission.]The Holocaust is a difficult topic to deal with as subject matter for a work of art; its horrors have been explicitly brought to light countless times in several different formats and knowledge of these horrors has pervaded our society such that nearly everyone has been exposed to them in some way or another. In order to tell an effective story...
