Oskar Schindler and His List: The Man, the Book, the Film, the Holocaust and Its Survivors
Schindler's List, the movie based on the nonfiction novel based on the life of the German businessman who saved scores of Jews from the Holocaust, has become a beginning study"text" for individuals and school, college, and independent learning classes alike. This is a casebook to aid such study. It corrals two immediately postwar journalists' testimonies about the man Schindler, three pieces on Thomas Keneally's book, more than 140 pages of reviews of and reportage on Steven Spielberg's film, and more than 50 pages of journalistic punditry on the Holocaust that the movie's success provoked. An annotated bibliography of Holocaust writings concludes the solid, popularly oriented (the heaviest reading here comes fromThe New Yorker) collection.Ray Olson
