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 would have been counted among the dead if not for a womanizing, heavydrinking, 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 saved the lives of over 1,300 Jews. An absorbing, suspenseful and moving account of Oskar Schindler's legacy of life, this is an unforgettable audio program.

I have a feeling I will SO cry in this one.

Ch 20 (view spoiler)[ I realized that Oskar was arrested and I remember than stating his love for vodka in the other book we read. At least he's not the only one that's trying to help the jews! I'm happy so many people realize the wrong in segregating them. When it was describing the boy and mother being killed... I almost started crying (hide spoiler)]

Ch 30 (view spoiler)[ Being shot because the soup temperature isn't right... they are looking for any reason to kill. 4000 people were just shot and killed because they resisted deportation. wow At least Schindler is opening his factories and making his 'list'. I figured there would be spies in his factory seeing how the people are being treated! how cruel (hide spoiler)]

Ch 35 (view spoiler)[ wow Oskar spent so much money on just saving these peoples lives and giving them a nice home. Marcel would take bribes to place people on there... They mentioned the woman being transported to the concentration camp and some died just in the first days of being there. I'd be so scared if I was Oskar hiding the fact that they weren't making anything of importance and avoiding inspections. (hide spoiler)]

finished (view spoiler)[ I enjoyed this story told more from Oskar's view. It shows what he thought personally about everything that was happening and how it wanted to play a part in it. Goeth was condemned to death wow. Oskar spent all the money he had an even after the war he was going bankrupt, that's crazy. At least he spent his last few years at a university where they dedicated a part of the school to him. (hide spoiler)]

I wanna read all your spoilers but I'm gonna refrain. I'm starting this one after My current read.
