Title: Sad story about real courage
Review: Oskar Schindler was a drinker, a gambler, an adulterer, a war profiteer, a Nazi sympathiser - and a hero. During what is undoubtedly the darkest chapter of human history, in a time where a person would sell off their own grandmother to the Gestapo, his selflessness enabled the lives of 1500 Jews to be saved, and indirectly, he saved many more lives - the children, grandchildren, and greatchildren of "his" Jews are alive today because their ancestors were fortunate enough to have their names on his list.You can't help but contrast him to the likes of Adolf Eichmann, who protested during his trial that he had no choice but to do what he did, he was a soldier who was "only following orders." Schindler too, had a choice, and his choice and its consequences are lovingly chronicled in Kenneally's book.That he had the courage to make this choice is a point that should never be forgotten. And neither should Oskar Schindler.
