Schindler's Ark
by Thomas Keneally
***Winner of the 1982 Booker Prize***
This was the Booker Prize-winning novel, based on the true story of Oskar Schindler, that was turned into the movie Schindler’s List. A member of the Nazi party at the beginning of World War II and no saint, Schindler would end up saving more than 1,000 Jews from death, employing them in his factory and doing whatever it took to protect them.
