Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Award for Fiction
Schindler's List is a remarkable work of fiction based on
the true story of German industrialist and war profiteer,
Oskar Schindler, who, confronted with the horror of the
extermination camps, gambled his life and fortune to
rescue 1,300 Jews from the gas chambers.
Working with the actual testimony of Schindler's Jews,
Thomas Keneally artfully depicts the courage and
shrewdness of an unlikely savior, a man who is a flawed
mixture of hedonism and decency and who, in the presence
of unutterable evil, transcends the limits of his own
humanity.
