Summary: In the shadow of Auschwitz, a flamboyant German industrialist grew into a living legend to the Jews of Cracow. He was a womaniser and heavy drinker who enjoyed the good life, yet to them he became a saviour. 
 Thomas Keneally's Booker Prize-winning novel recreates the story of Oskar Schindler, an Aryan who risked his life to protect Jews in Nazi-occupied Poland, who continually defied and outwitted the SS, and who was transformed by the war into an angel of mercy. It is an unforgettable tale, all the more extraordinary for being true. 
 Review: This is one of those few books that moved me to tears quite a number of times. An extraordinary book that was the result of the efforts of Poldek Pfefferberg, a Schindler survivor, who made it his life's mission to ensure that Oskar Schindler's story did not remain untold. Thomas Keneally traces the story of Schindler with the backdrop of Germany during WWII and does it brilliantly. Filled with horrifying incidents of cruelty as well as endearing moments of kindness, this book is a masterpiece and will stay with you for a long time. A MUST READ for readers across all genres.
