Description

Winner of the Booker Prize Winner of the L A Times Book Award for Fiction Schindler's List is just a remarkable work of fiction on the basis of the true story of German industrialist and war profiteer, Oskar Schindler, who, confronted by the horror of the extermination camps, gambled his life and fortune to save 1,300 Jews in the gas chambers. Dealing with the particular testimony of Schindler's Jews, Thomas Keneally artfully depicts the courage and shrewdness of an unlikely savior, a guy who is just a flawed combination of hedonism and decency and who, in the clear presence of unutterable evil, transcends the limits of their own humanity.
