Schindler's List
“Bower has a pleasing tone and cadence and perfectly pronounces a daunting array of German, Polish, and Yiddish words. Even for those already familiar with this story, it is well worth the time to revisit this treasure of compassion and bravery.”

This bestselling classic of Holocaust literature, winner of the Booker Prize, and the Los Angeles Times Book Award for Fiction, was the basis for the acclaimed multiaward–winning film.
A stunning novel, it is based on the true story of how German war profiteer and factory director Oskar Schindler 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 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.
