Thomas Keneally’s “Schindler’s Ark” portrays the remarkable true account of Oskar Schindler, a German businessman who exhibited extraordinary courage during the Holocaust. When the Nazis took control of Poland in World War II, the Jewish population was subjected to ghettos and later sent to concentration camps, where survival seemed almost impossible. Against this backdrop, Schindler became a beacon of hope for thousands of Polish Jews. At great personal risk, he employed them in his factories, thereby shielding them from deportation and the threat of death. This gripping narrative, which earned Thomas Keneally the prestigious 1982 Man Booker Prize, was later adapted into the Academy Award-winning movie “Schindler’s List.”
