Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Award for Fiction
Schindler's List is a remarkable work of fiction based on the true story of German industrialist and war profiteer, Oskar Schindler, who, confronted with the horror of the extermination camps, gambled his life and fortune to rescue 1,300 Jews from the gas chambers.
Working with the actual testimony of Schindler's Jews, Thomas Keneally artfully depicts the courage and shrewdness of an unlikely savior, a man who is a flawed mixture of hedonism and decency and who, in the presence of unutterable evil, transcends the limits of his own humanity.

I'm so glad I finally read this important book, though parts of it were incredibly difficult to read, it was such a relief to be able to set them against one of the best stories of humanity and compassion to come out of the Holocaust.
Taking to the November meetup.

Picked up this, and WAY too many books at the November meeting.
I am bringing this book to pass along to a fellow BookCrosser at the October meetup.
Picked this up at the October/Thanksgiving meeting, so thankful for all my friends in BookCrossing. Despite it being a long weekend and their being snow on the ground, we had 11 attendees and LOTS of books.
