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.

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
A fine and moving story
Fascinating, expertly told and impossible to put down
Magnificent . . . Beautifully written
