SEARCHING FOR SCHINDLER

A fascinating retelling of Oskar Schindlers extraordinary story and how it came to the worlds attention through Thomas Keneallys Booker Prize-winning novel and the subsequent multiple Oscar-winning film, Schindlers ListThe extraordinary tale of Oskar Schindler, the Aryan who saved hundreds of Jews in Nazi-occupied Poland, is now legendary, but as Tom Keneally reveals in this absorbing memoir, luck and the dogged persistence of one of Schindlers Jews were vital in bringing it to the worlds attention through his Booker Prize-winning novel, SCHINDLERS ARK and the subsequent film, SCHINDLERS LIST.Entertaining, inspiring and filled with anecdotes about the many people involved, from the survivors Keneally interviewed to Steven Spielberg and Liam Neeson, Searching for Schindler gives a revealing insight into a writers mind and the creation of a modern classic. It also traces what happened in the decades after the war to Schindler, his wife, and the people they rescued - including Leopold Pfefferberg, who made it his mission to repay his priceless debt to Schindler. Above all, it sheds renewed light on a fascinatingly flawed man, and an instance of exceptional humanity amid the greatest inhumanity mankind has known.
