books which show an act of kindness are my favorites.... and so does Mr. Schindler.Steven Spielbergs movie of this book is so well known, I scarcely need to introduce the book or its central protagonist, the Sudeten German Oskar Schindler (1908 1974).

(when will this ever stop?) Every time I bought me a copy, I watched it. Every time I watched it, I cried.But surprisingly, I did not cry reading the book, 1982 Thomas Keanallys
Oskar Schindler is a legend for all men, women and children who have crossed his path in the Krakow ghetto, or later in the labor and extermination camps."Oskar had taken on the appearance of the god of deliverance, a double sided god according to Greek mythology, a god crippled vices, resourceful, subtly powerful, and can save lives in such a way as effective free .

""The critique of culture is confronted with the last stage in the dialectic of culture and barbarism: to write a poem after Auschwitz is barbaric, and that corrodes also the knowledge which expresses why it has become impossible to write poetry today.Theodore W. AdornoEncapsulated in quotes such as the above is the pure devastating influence across history of the Jewish Holocaust during World War 2.
