The true story of Oskar Schindler, a Nazi industrialist who saved over a thousand Jews from the Holocaust by employing them in his factories, told with novelistic vividness. Keneally's Booker Prize winner—later filmed by Spielberg as Schindler's List—is one of the most important Holocaust narratives ever written. Themes of Holocaust, moral courage, World War II run through the work. The book has received recognition from Booker Prize 1982.
