In the shadow of Auschwitz, a flamboyant German industrialist grew into a living legend to the Jews of Cracow. He was a womanizer, a heavy drinker and a bon viveur, but to them he became a savior.  This is the extraordinary story of Oskar Schindler, who risked his life to protect Jews in Nazi-occupied Poland and who was transformed by the war into a man with a mission as a compassionate angel of mercy . . .

A milestone of Holocaust literature, Thomas Keneally 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.  

"Schindler's List has the immediacy and the almost unbearable detail of a thousand eye witnesses who forgot nothing." -- The New York Times Book Review
