'He who saves a single life, saves the whole world' — these words from the Talmud were written by prisoners on a ring that they gave to their savior, Oskar Schindler. The man who saved more than a thousand people from martyrdom.

'A German bon vivant, a clever businessman, a charming personality full of contradictions' — this is how Keneally writes about his hero.

Yes, Oskar Schindler was not a saint, but he became the Righteous Among the Nations. He is remembered not only by those who owe their lives to him, not only by their children and grandchildren — there is no person in the world who has not heard this name and did not bow before Schindler's modest courage.

In 1993, Steven Spielberg made a film based on Thomas Keneally's novel, which became one of the most significant works of world cinema and was awarded seven Oscars.
