Mieczysław Pemper (Author), Viktoria Hertling (Author), Marie Elisabeth Müller (Author), David Dollenmayer (Translator)
"''Don't thank me for your survival, thank your valiant Stern and Pemper, who stared death in the face constantly'--Oskar Schindler in a speech to his released Jewish workers in May 1945. Steven Spielberg's Oscar-winning film "Schindler's List" popularized the true story of a German businessman who manipulated his Nazi connections and spent his personal fortune to save some 1,200 Jewish prisoners from certain death during the Holocaust. But few know that those lists were made possible by a secret strategy designed by a young Polish Jew at the Płaszow concentration camp. Mietek Pemper's compelling and moving memoir tells the true story of how Schindler's list really came to pass" -- Amazon.com
