Steven Spielberg's powerful film made Oskar Schindler, the businessman who saved hundreds of Jews through his factory, a household name and hero. But the story of Schindler's list and its compilation involves another, unsung protagonist: Mietek Pemper, the Jewish assistant forced to work for Nazi criminal Amon G?th, who ran the Polish concentration camp at Plasz?w. Through linguistic brilliance and guile, Pemper, who wrote out much of G?th's correspondence, discovered the path to saving Jews by manipulating Nazi information. Under constant threat of death, Pemper transmitted information to Schindler, allowing him to protect Jews covertly. Though Pemper's ingenuity triumphed--he was instrumental in convicting G?th of war crimes--his compelling memoir conveys the unspeakable grief of one who survived the Holocaust while so many others perished. This important work sheds invaluable light on the man who made Schindler's humanitarian achievement possible. |
