About this listen

In remembrance of the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz and the Nazi concentration camps, this award-winning, best-selling work of Holocaust fiction, inspiration for the classic film and “masterful account of the growth of the human soul” (Los Angeles Times Book Review), returns with an all-new introduction and beautifully redesigned cover.

An “extraordinary” (New York Review of Books) novel based on the true story of how German war profiteer and factory director Oskar Schindler came to save more Jews from the gas chambers than any other single person during World War II. In this milestone of Holocaust literature, Thomas Keneally, author of The Book of Science and Antiquities and The Daughter of Mars, uses the actual testimony of the Schindlerjuden — Schindler’s Jews — to brilliantly portray the courage and cunning of a good man in the midst of unspeakable evil.

“Astounding.... In this case, the truth is far more powerful than anything the imagination could invent.” (Newsweek)

What can say about such an important and urgent book that has not been said before? I do not want to bash Spielberg's movie, which was a brilliant movie in many ways, but Spielberg missed something important: it is written in a form reportage- factual and quite effective. Listening/reading it was like- chill going my spine all the time. t did not make me feel sentimental in any way or outrageous (the way the movie made me feel) but horrified. Zero humanity in Goeth (once again, in Spielberg's movie he looked like evil and disturbed human, but still human)- a total psychopath in the country run by psychopaths. The performance by Humphrey Bower was brilliant and hit a right note. A.

Happily, the book was far better than the movie. An amazing story of a man driven to help people. Almost beyond belief that he and his wife could risk everything to save so many.

Not the movie

I would recommend that all Republicans and Democrats and Independent s select this book. Please listen to the very last paragraph which requests that all people who are considered “different” be treated with respect.

The story was good. Many things the same as in the movie, but many things were different, deeper, enriched.

The epilogue was a lesson we all should tell ourselves day in day out

I thought it was a very well written book this was the first time I listened to it I saw the movie years ago I'm half-jewish and always think about what it would be like back then all the poor innocent babies children women and men that had to deal with that. everybody should listen to this book should be mandatory about what's good there is in the world and bad.

really well done

If you have not already seen the movie and are unfamiliar with the story you must read this book! The narration is exquisite and the story is heart rending.

Amazing

I hate to admit that I am 40 and just now listened to it. I believe it should be required reading for every adult. This book was so carefully and brilliantly written. Keneally wrote a real tribute to a hero while also exposes weaknesses in humanity that are terrifyingly relevant today. It starts a little slow laying the ground work but gets intensely interesting.

Incredible Must Read

Horrible and shameful period in our world history. So few to aid and so many to participate and/or ignore what was going on in their midst. Very moving. Excellent narrator.Well worth reading .

Excellent

A must read!

Since first hearing Humphrey Bower narrate “The Power of One,” I have been taken with finding other narrations by him. SL was one of them. Once again, his narration of such riveting historical events was superb. Never simply “read.” Never rushed. Never boring. I highly recommend this version.

Waited way too long to listen to this!
