  • 1. Schindler’s List, written by Thomas Keneally in 1982, is a poignant and harrowing narrative that depicts the harrowing experiences of Jewish individuals during the Holocaust, focusing on the life of Oskar Schindler, a German businessman who becomes an unlikely hero. The novel details how Schindler, initially driven by profit and the desire to exploit Jewish labor for his factories, gradually transforms into a savior for over a thousand Jews, risking his life and fortune to protect them from the Nazi regime. Keneally's meticulously researched work vividly captures the brutality of the concentration camps, the moral complexities of human behavior under duress, and the profound impact of courage and compassion in the face of overwhelming evil.
