Winner Los Angeles Times Book Prize 1983
Winner The Man Booker Prize 1982
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.
'This remarkable book has the immediacy and the almost unbearable detail of a thousand eye witnesses who forgot nothing.' — The New York Times Book Review
'A masterful account of the growth of the human soul.' — Los Angeles Times Book Review
'Brilliantly detailed, moving, powerful and gripping.' — The Times
