Reviews
The lack of expertise and knowledge and the inadequate research performed by both authors is clearly evident in these titles. Byers's writing is dense, confusing, and boring. She barely mentions anti-Semitism and fails to explain the reasons for, or events leading up to, Hitler's Final Solution, making it impossible for readers to understand Oskar Schindler's actions and motivations. Most alarming, however, is her footnote for an article by David Irving, an extremely vocal Holocaust denier. In addition to poor writing, Worth's account of Himmler is riddled with misrepresentations, misleading statements, oversimplifications, and distortions, consisting not only of incorrect in formation but also of the inclusion of irrelevant material at the expense of significant facts. And, in the last sentence of the book, Worth concludes that "Himmler created the Holocaust," an absurd overstatement. While other scholars and sources have called him the "architect" of the Holocaust, Worth can not conclude that Himmler singlehandedly created it without discussing Hitler, the history of anti-Semitism, and other significant and important facts about life in Germany after World War I-none of which are covered., School Library Journal January 2006

Synopsis
Oskar Schindler was a man who enjoyed fast living. He liked to race motorcycles, and his wife thought he drank too much. Schindler joined the Nazi party to make money, and even became a spy for the promise of danger. After the Nazi invasion of Poland, Schindler made plans to start a business there and become rich. Instead, he saw the plight of the Polish Jews: the forced labor, the Nazi brutality, and the executions. He could not let these things happen without trying to make a difference. Author Ann Byers explores the life of this unusual rescuer: a Nazi businessman who spent his fortune and risked his life to save as many Jews as possible. Through the words of those he protected, the story of how Schindler used his factory as a shelter for over twelve hundred Jews-and how they honor his bravery-is revealed. Book jacket., Oskar Schindler enjoyed the finer things in life and loved the excitement of racing motorcycles. He joined the Nazi party to make money. However, after seeing the atrocities committed against Polish Jews, he could not let these things happen without trying to make a difference. Author Ann Byers explores the life of this Nazi businessman who risked his fortune and his life to save as many people as possible. Partially through the words of those he protected, Byers describes how Schindler used his factory as a shelter to save over twelve hundred Jews from death.
