About this listen

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.

An Important Read

Everyone should read this book and see the movie. No holds barred and no exaggerations as there shouldn't be for such a huge crime against humanity.

One thing about the titles in Audible: They do not match the number stated by the narrator. Not the first time I have noticed this on Audible.

A must listen.

If you have seen the movie but want to know the whole story this is a must. Oscar and his Schindler Juden incredible story at times brought tears to my cheeks. A story of survival and the inner good of a flawed man fighting against overpowering evil.

Schindlers Ark

The book, in this case, had just as much, if not more, feelings than the movie. I truly loved, hated, cried, laughed and felt lost, confusion, dispare .... how could this happen

Brilliant

A must read. A hero, who was courageous and strong. Who could see the evil of the Nazi regime. Congratulations on a horrific insight into the plight of the Jews and that hope in humanity is always there.

Finally got back to the book - and so glad I did

A sobering yet riveting story that needs to be told and retold - real life example of how one person (even if flawed) can make a difference.
