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 fine and moving story
Fascinating, expertly told and impossible to put down
Magnificent . . . Beautifully written
An extraordinary achievement
Brilliantly detailed, moving, powerful and gripping
Thomas Keneally has done marvellous justice to a marvellous story
Keneally is a superb storyteller. With Schindler's Ark he has given us his best book yet, a magnificent novel which held me from the first page to the last
This remarkable book has the immediacy and the almost unbearable detail of a thousand eye witnesses who forgot nothing
A masterful account of the growth of the human soul
An extraordinary tale . . .no summary can adequately convey the stratagems and reverses and sudden twists of fortune . . . A notable achievement
An astounding story . . . in this case the truth is far more powerful than anything the imagination could invent
A magnificent book, powerful, harrowing and beautifully written
