About this listen

 Winner of the Booker Prize, 1982.

During the Holocaust at the German concentration camp near Plaszow, thousands of Jews lost their lives at the hands of the Nazis. More than a thousand others were spared thanks to a womanizing, heavy-drinking, German-Catholic industrialist and Nazi Party member named Oskar Schindler. One of the most remarkable narratives of the Holocaust, Schindler's List masterfully recreates the daring exploits of Schindler, who used his enormous fortune to build a factory near the concentration camp and his influence to save the lives of more than 1,300 Jews. It is an absorbing, suspenseful, and moving account of Schindler's legacy of life.

The more audiobooks I listen to the more I realise the quality of the reader is key. Ben Kingsley is ace - he does the voices for each character and everything!!

Go ben Kingsley

I really enjoyed this - it's ideal for anyone wanting to read this brilliant book but like me being nervous about how upsetting it might be. It's an important book that we should all read really, even if an abridged version.

A great version

Truly awful events, awful. The shameful thing is that the World has never learned from these events. Nationalism in its purest evil lead to this yet since WW2 so many other States have gone down the same awful route. Humans love war and having absolute power over others it seems. we never learn.

A book that should be read in every school
