In the shadow of Auschwitz, a flamboyant German industrialist grew into a living legend to the Jews of Cracow. He was a womaniser, a heavy drinker and a bon viveur, but to them he became a saviour.

This is the extraordinary story of Oskar Schindler, who risked his life to protect Jews in Nazi-occupied Poland and who was transformed by the war into a man with a mission, a compassionate angel of mercy.

Schindler's Ark by Thomas Keneally captures the remarkable transformation of a man driven by unlikely motivations yet emerging as a beacon of hope during one of history’s darkest periods.
