Product Description
by Thomas Fensch (Author), Herbert Steinhouse (Introduction by)
Over thirty years before Thomas Keneally wrote the book "Schindler's List," journalist Herbert Steinhouse interviewed Oskar Schindler. That 1949 interview, and Steinhouse's subsequent magazine article, plus an extensive interview with Steinhouse, opens this collection of essays, articles and interviews, which illuminate Schindler and the international effect of his story. Of the writings about Oskar Schindler, this is the only book to incorporate Schindler's life, Keneally's book, and the Academy-Award winning film inspired by Schindler's heroism. Thomas Fensch has compiled articles and and interviews to show how Keneally came to write "Schindler's List," how Steven Spielberg brought this extraordinary story to life on film, and how uncovering Schindler's valiant rescue of so many Jewish lives has dramatically altered Holocaust awareness in our time.
