Although Oskar Schindler’s name is synonymous with Holocaust heroes, his life story is by no means black and white. Readers will be introduced to a man who, with the help of his wife and staff, protected more than 1,000 Jews from the Nazis during the Holocaust. At the same time, this hero was a known womanizer with an alcohol problem. This enlightening book covers his upbringing, including his years in the Nazi Party, and his change of heart. Readers will find this volume to be educational, eye-opening, and inspiring.
“Don’t thank me for your survival, thank your valiant Stern and Pemper, who stared death in the face constantly.”—Oskar Schindler in a speech to his released Jewish workers in May 1945. Steven Spielberg’s Oscar-winning film Schindler’s List popularized the true story of a German businessman who manipulated his Nazi connections and spent his personal fortune to save some 1,200 Jewish prisoners from certain death during the Holocaust. But few know that those lists were made possible by a secret strategy designed by a young Polish Jew at the Płaszow concentration camp. Mietek Pemper’s compelling and moving memoir tells the true story of how Schindler’s list really came to pass. Pemper was born in 1920 into a lively and cultivated Jewish family for whom everything changed in 1939 when the Germans invaded Poland. Evicted from their home, they were forced into the Krakow ghetto and, later, into the nearby camp of Płaszow where Pemper’s knowledge of the German language was put to use by the sadistic camp commandant Amon Goth. Forced to work as Goth’s personal stenographer from March 1943 to September 1944—an exceptional job for a Jewish prisoner—Pemper soon...

Kurt Schindler was an impossible man. His daughter Meriel spent her adult life trying to keep him at bay. Kurt had made extravagant claims about their family history. Were they really related to Franz Kafka and Oscar Schindler, of Schindler's List fame? Or Hitler's Jewish doctor - Dr Bloch? What really happened on Kristallnacht, the night that Nazis beat Kurt's father half to death and ransacked the family home? When Kurt died in 2017, Meriel felt compelled to resolve her mixed feelings about him, and to solve the mysteries he had left behind. Starting with photos and papers found in Kurt's isolated cottage, Meriel embarked on a journey of discovery taking her to Austria, Italy and the USA. She reconnected family members scattered by feuding and war. She pieced together an extraordinary story taking in two centuries, two world wars and a family business: the famous Café Schindler. Launched in 1922 as an antidote to the horrors of the First World War, this grand cafe became the whirling social centre of Innsbruck. And then the Nazis arrived. Through the story of the Café Schindler and the threads that spool out from it, this moving book weaves together memoir, family history and...

The American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise presents a biographical sketch of German industrialist and humanitarian Oskar Schindler (1908-1974). Schindler paid off the Nazis to allow Jews to work in his factory. In doing this, he saved 1,300 Jews from the Nazis during World War II.
In 1980 Thomas Keneally walked into a shop in Beverley Hills to buy a briefcase, an impulse that was to change his life. For the owner, Leopold Pfefferberg, had a story he'd been trying to interest writers and Hollywood in for years. It was the story of Oskar Schindler. In SEARCHING FOR SCHINDLER, Keneally describes how he went on to discover the full, extraordinary tale of the Aryan who risked his life to save hundreds of Jews in Nazi-occupied Poland, interviewing many of the survivors around the world. Here, for the first time, he fills in what happened to them, as well as to Schindler and his wife, in the decades after the war. And he gives a fascinating account of how his novel SCHINDLER'S ARK was published, its controversial winning of the Booker Prize, and the long road to its becoming the phenomenally successful film Schindler's List. Filled with entertaining anecdotes about the many people involved, from Steven Spielberg and Liam Neeson to Keneally's own family, SEARCHING FOR SCHINDLER gives a unique insight into the creation of a modern classic. Paying tribute to the irrepressible Poldek, it sheds renewed light on a remarkable instance of humanity amid the greatest...
Es gibt sicher keinen anderen Text, der das politische Denken des Abendlandes und dessen Raumnahme in der Neuen Welt so nachhaltig beschäftigt hat wie Vergils Aeneis. Von der karolingischen Zeit bis hin zum sogenannten boom der lateinamerikanischen Literatur finden wir immer wieder Neukonfigurationen des antiken Gründungsepos. Die Rezeption der Aeneis beschränkt sich jedoch mitnichten auf die epische Form. Es ist vielmehr so, dass sie in nachgerade jeder literarischen Gattung zum Austrag kommt und also in dem Sinne über Jahrhunderte ein aktiver Mythos bleibt, dass sie im Rahmen einer mehr oder minder festen Koppelung eine ungeheure Bedeutungsvielfalt hervorbringt. Was macht die Aeneis so vielseitig ausbeutbar, dass sie in den unterschiedlichsten Epochen und Kulturkontexten als Matrix politisch interessierter Literatur funktionieren kann? No existe seguramente ningún texto que haya ocupado el pensamiento político de Occidente y su expansión territorial en el Nuevo Mundo de forma tan sostenida como la Eneida. Desde el período carolingio hasta el boom latinoamericano, una y otra vez se encuentran nuevas configuraciones literarias del antiguo mito fundacional de Roma plasmado...

When the German retreat begins, he sets up a second factory in his native Sudetenland and succeeds in transferring his work force there, while keeping the SS at bay. At the end of the war, he has saved over a thousand lives.
