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.

This book has the power of truth to make you experience an array of human emotions. It will bring deep sadness, but also surprising joy. A brilliant book beautifully narrated, covering a unique and brave,if flawed, man and his humanitarian response to a very dark period in human history.

If you listen to only one book , make it this one.

Gripping story - well-researched and written. Helps bring home the tragedies of the Nazi regime by sharing lots of individuals' personal experiences of loss, abuse, grief and violence but also of love, perseverance, and incredible ingenuity and bravery.

Engaging and insightful
