The acclaimed bestselling classic of Holocaust literature, adapted into the award-winning film Schindler's List
In the shadow of Auschwitz, as thousands faced death in Nazi-occupied Poland, an unlikely saviour emerged. Oskar Schindler was a heavy-drinking, womanising industrialist who defied and outwitted the SS to save more Jews from the gas chambers than any other single person during World War II.
Based on a true story, Schindler's Ark is an astonishing tale of huge risks and great courage in the face of unspeakable evil.

A fantastic read that brings to life the atrocities committed during WWII. Yet through this account, there is this incredible man, selflessly saving so many lives. I saw the film years ago, but this book was a brilliant read. Thank you Oskar for restoring some faith in the human spirit
