I have very high expectations for this novel as it is stated on the cover "The acclaimed #1 bestseller". In addition, a movie directed by Steven Spielberg has been produced based off of this book. The story seems very well-known and renowned which should signal a very good read. In addition, very positive reviews can be seen on the back cover of the book. According to the back cover, Thomas Keneally has written multiple acclaimed books. Based on many factors I can not wait to read through this novel as it seems to be very well-written and thought provoking.
I have a vague understanding of what Schindler's List is completely based on. The story revolves around a character named Oskar Schindler. Schindler was a real person and the story is based on his experiences in saving the Jews that were held in concentration camps by then Nazis during World
War II. The story is primarily fictionalized but provides some scenes based on facts. Oskar Schindler was an industrialist who owned multiple factories in the Czech Republic and Poland. Schindler has been credited with saving thousands of Jews from almost certain death in concentration camps. Schindler was able to convince Nazi officials to place Jews in his factory to work, which had freed many Jews from the concentration camps. This novel focuses on the experiences that Oskar Schindler endured while saving the Jews. Oskar Schindler is still being thanked for his life-risking actions that would save many others in a time of turmoil.
I plan to update this blog weekly and the schedule is as follows:
By 3/4: Pgs. 1-100
By 3/11: Pgs. 101-199
By 3/18: Pgs. 200-295
By 3/25 Pgs. 295-397
Once again, I look forward to a very deep and thoughtful book and am excited to share my thoughts throughout.
