"Most biographies are written against a sketchy background of
historical events drawn with just enough broad strokes of the brush
to provide context for a life. Crowe''s book, apart from the
affecting last chapters on the autumn of Schindler''s life, is just
the opposite...In these Auschwitz memorial days we are filled with
tales and images of Jewish deaths. Crowe''s book honours the heroism
of Hitler''s working Jews in life" The Spectator"
