In the shadow of Auschwitz, a flamboyant German industrialist grew into a living legend to the Jews of Cracow. He was a womaniser, a heavy drinker and a bon viveur, but to them he became a saviour. This is the extraordinary story of Oskar Schindler, who risked his life to protect Jews in Nazi-occupied Poland and who was transformed by the war into a man with a mission, a compassionate angel of mercy.… (plus d'informations)

Anche se tutti avranno già visto il capolavoro di Spielberg e quindi lo sapranno già, il libro racconta la vita dell'industriale tedesco Oskar Schindler dal 1939 nella Polonia occupata dai nazisti.
Più lento di quanto mi aspettassi nella prima parte, il libro prende giri col passare delle pagine e ricostruisce la azioni di Schindler che, inizialmente nazista convinto anche lui, vede aumentare col tempo gli orrori operati dalle SS e matura parallelamente una repulsione verso il regime e le atrocità dei campi di concentramento.
Man mano che si rafforzano le sue convinzioni, anche le sue scelte diventano sempre più azzardate e pericolose, volte a ingannare il sistema dall'interno nel tentativo di aiutare il popolo ebraico ed alleviarne le sofferenze per quanto possibile.
Innumerevoli gli episodi in cui Schindler riesce a sottrarre prigionieri ebrei dalle grinfie delle SS e dai campi di concentramento tramite vari sotterfugi, inganni e "regali" ai funzionari giusti.
Tutto il libro è stato scritto grazie ai ricordi dei sopravvissuti, agli scritti di Schindler e ai documenti custoditi allo Yad Vashem, il memoriale della Shoah di Gerusalemme.
È certamente un po' crudo in alcune descrizioni, ma non poteva essere diversamente.
Emozionante e commovente, lo metto sul podio dei migliori libri dedicati all'Olocausto insieme a "Se questo è un uomo" di Primo Levi e "La banalità del bene" di Enrico Deaglio (altro libro incredibile che ricostruisce la storia di Giorgio Perlasca, lo Schindler italiano).
Non ho dubbi, oggi più che mai, che sia un libro necessario... per non dimenticare. ( )

Sono stata molto contenta di questa lettura di gennaio con LiberTiAmo: sebbene avessi visto il film di Spielberg anni e anni fa (talmente tanti da ricordarmelo a malapena, in effetti), non mi ero mai avvicinata al libro.

Sulla storia, niente da dire, naturalmente: Oscar Schindler e sua moglie Emilie figurano tra i Giusti tra le nazioni per aver salvato un migliaio di persone ebree dalla Shoah, usando i loro agganci e le loro risorse, senza risparmiarsi e senza mai rassegnarsi all’orrore e alla crudeltà gratuita.

Sullo stile con il quale Keneally ha raccontato la storia, devo dire che in alcuni punti mi è sembrato meno appassionante, nonostante le vicende narrate siano così significative. Penso di essere rimasta infastidita dal fatto che si tratta di un non-fiction novel, mentre avrei preferito leggere un non-fiction ‘puro’ – per così dire – che nella mia testa sarebbe stato più adatto per questa storia. Giusto nella mia testa, visto che La lista di Schindler ha vinto il Booker Prize nel 1982: deve essere colpa del mio potente amore per la saggistica. ( )

Most people have at least heard of this book, or the movie that was made from it, about the war profiteer turned savior of over a thousand Jews during WWII. I watched the movie in high school and then tried to read the book, but gave up due to how long and dry it was. That's probably the biggest mark against the book for most people--it's slow and plodding for at least the first several chapters. And throughout the entire book, the narrative is bogged down by so many names of locations and people, all of which are foreign to at least some of us (mostly Polish names, some German) and difficult to pronounce. However, I'm not sure Keneally should have done it differently, and if that is the only downside to the whole book, I would say there's a lot of reason to push through it and keep going. It does pick up a little after some of the early chapters, and in the end, I'm really glad I read it.

One thing that's always struck me about Schindler, and did even more so while reading this, is that he's not necessarily the type of person you would picture as a "savior." He was gruff, prone to fits of anger, and frankly had absolutely no respect for women at all. And yet, when he saw injustice and brutality happening, he was spurred into action. And while his motives for helping are examined multiple times in the book, it's clear that it's not just a matter of profit that he fights to keep his workers, considering the lengths he goes to at times to not just keep them but also to keep the SS from brutalizing them in his factory.

Though Schindler's actions are the focal point, the book also takes an up-close look at some of the people eventually saved by him. The book reads like a series of vignettes about Schindler himself and various of the different Schindlerjuden (Schindler Jews). Keneally states that he did his best to include only facts, while filling in conversation here and there, but because he couldn't possibly have every single detail, the story at times reads more like looking down on a scene, rather than being right there in it while it happens, as we've come to expect from novels. He makes it clear, though, when he couldn't corroborate a story, that it might be more legend than fact, and even this only happens a few times. Overall, the book is a fascinating, heartbreaking, and clear picture of one man who was completely unextraordinary most of his life, yet did an incredibly extraordinary thing during a dark and terrifying time in human history. Whether you've seen the movie or not, I recommend reading this book to pretty much everyone who's remotely interested in the subject matter, even if it does take you some time to get through it. It's worth it. ( )

I had expected this to be a novel but it turns out to be a hybrid - non-fiction cum fiction. It wasn't very satisfactory for me; I would have preferred it to be more clearly defined. Keneally declared that he meant it to be a novel but there are frequent references like testimonies, reminding you it is not. For these references, I would have liked a proper reference listing, citing the source of the info. Nevertheless, without Keneally, many of us wouldn't know of this remarkable man, Oskar Schindler. Besides Schindler, Keneally brought to light other German industrialists and soldiers who showed kindness. ( )

Good novel about the German industrialist, a playboy, who managed to save a lot of his Jewish factory workers from death in the Holocaust. It was originally called "Schindler's Ark". ( )

THE versatile Australian novelist, Thomas Keneally, tells the true story of Schindler's rescue effort in this remarkable book which has the immediacy and the almost unbearable detail of a thousand eyewitnesses who forgot nothing. The story is not only Schindler's. It is the story of Cracow's dying ghetto and the forced labor camp outside of town, at Plaszow.

Dédicace
À la mémoire d'Oskar Schindler
et de Leopold Pfefferberg
dont la persévérance a permis à ce livre d'exister.
Premiers mots
En 1980, je m'apprêtais à faire l'achat d'une valise dans un magasin de Beverly Hills, en Californie. La boutique appartenait à Leopold Pfefferberg, un des survivants du groupe Schindler. C'est là, au milieu des articles de cuir importés d'Italie, que j'ai entendu parler pour la première fois d'Oskar Schindler, Allemand, bon vivant, gentleman-traficoteur, qui réussit à sauver de la mort quelques milliers d'individus appartenant à une race condamnée dans une période où l'Histoire s'écrivait Holocauste. [...]
Prologue
Automne 1943

L'automne polonais prenait fin. Un homme jeune et grand sortait d'un immeuble cossu de la Straszewskiego, proche du centre historique de Cracovie. Son manteau d'une rare élégance cachait un smoking dont le revers arborait une croix gammée. [...]
1.

Les divisions blindées du général Sigmund List, fonçant vers le nord, avaient pris en tenaille Cracovie, joyau de la Pologne. La ville tombait le 6 septembre 1939. Oskar Schindler, arrivé dans les fourgons des troupes allemandes, avait tout de suite mesuré les possibilités qu'offrait la nouvelle situation : Cracovie, important nœud ferroviaire mais dépourvu d'industries majeures, devrait normalement prospérer à la faveur du nouveau régime.

This is the novel Schindler's Ark, also published as Schindler's List. It is neither Schindler's List / Piano Solos nor the movie Schindler's List. Despite similar titles, the three media are separate works and should not be combined with each other. Only the novel Schindler's List (Schindler's Ark) should be combined here.
