Winner of the Booker Prize
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.

    A very human story about struggle and survival against all odds. A must read for all those who want to know more about this period in history.

    OMG! I didn't know this was a book! I absolutely love this movie - it's so tragic, and yet, educational (for lack of better word.) The movie really causes you to believe it happened, and to damn those who deny it. I will HAVE to get my hands on the book someday!
