Abstract

In the shadow of Auschwitz, a flamboyant German industrialist grew into a living legend to the Jews of Cracow. He was a womaniser, a heavy drinker and a bon viveur, but to them he became a saviour. This is the extraordinary story of Oskar Schindler, who risked his life to protect Jews in Nazi-occupied Poland and who was transformed by the war into a man with a mission, a compassionate angel of mercy.

Description

Un industriel allemand qui a réussi à sauver près de 1100 Juifs promis à la mort dans le camp de concentration de Płaszów, sans pour autant occulter les travers du personnage un peu ambigu et cherchant à tirer un profit matériel de la situation.
