Keneally, Thomas - Schindler's Ark ( List ) (Published in by The Folio Society in 2009. Achieving universal recognition through Steven Spielberg's multi-Academy Award winning film, Schindler's Ark tells the true story of Oskar Schindler, the unlikely saviour of over 1,300 Jews during one of history's darkest periods. Womaniser, heavy drinker, Nazi industrialist and war profiteer, Oskar Schindler was not, on the surface, a typical hero. In late 1939, after the Nazi invasion of Poland, he took over a failing enamelware factory in Cracow. As the treatment of the Jewish population in the city deteriorated, the factory began to gain the reputation of being a safe haven. Secretly appalled by the actions of his countrymen, Schindler sustained his workers with black-market food, and protected them from deportation to the death camps through a programme of bribery and deals with party officials. As momentum towards the Final Solution grew, so too did the risks Schindler took to secure the safety of his charges. )
