Where Light and Shadow Meet: A Memoir
Oskar Schindler, the German industrialist and counterintelligence operative made famous by  Steven Spielberg's movieSchindler's List,  did not think of himself as a hero, nor even as a particularly nice man. Nor should he have, suggests this  memoir by his widow. Although he tried to temper the savage natures of men such as concentration camp  commander Amon Goeth, and although he and Emilie managed to save the lives of several thousand Jewish  inmates, his eye seems always to have been on the personal gain to be had in a given situation. The  Schindlers emigrated to Argentina after the war and took up farming; Oskar later abandoned Emilie and  returned to Europe.Where Light and Shadow Meetis a decidedly minor but nonetheless interesting  addition to the literature of the Holocaust.
