Schindler’s Ark by Thomas Keneally, is a powerful historical account of Oskar Schindler, the German industrialist who risked everything to save over a thousand Jews during the Holocaust. Set against the horrors of Auschwitz and Nazi-occupied Poland, the book tells the remarkable true story of how Schindler transformed his enamelware and munitions factory into a refuge, shielding his Jewish workers from certain death.
Blending fact with novelistic storytelling, Keneally brings to life the moral complexities and extraordinary courage of a man who defied the regime he was part of. The book won the 1982 Booker Prize and was later adapted into the acclaimed film Schindler’s List.
