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.
