More than 70 years have passed since the events described in this book, yet the story of Schindler continues to captivate people. It is one of the most vivid and heroic chapters of the Second World War. And Thomas Keneally has described these events in his novel with incredible talent.
"Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire" - these words from the Talmud were inscribed by the prisoners on the ring they gifted to their savior, Oskar Schindler. A man who spared more than a thousand people from a martyr's death.
"A German bon vivant, a shrewd businessman, a charming personality full of contradictions" - this is how Keneally writes about his protagonist.
Yes, Oskar Schindler was no saint, but he became a Righteous Among the Nations. He is remembered not only by those who owe him their lives, not only by their children and grandchildren - there is no one in the world who has not heard this name and bowed before the humble courage of Schindler.
In 1993, Steven Spielberg directed a film based on Thomas Keneally's novel, which became one of the most significant works of world cinema and was awarded seven Oscars.
