Oskar Schindler

Oskar Schindler is specifically written to meet the needs of adolescents and adults who are reluctant readers. The photographs, maps, and illustrations reflect the text, making the words easy to decode. This high-interest, low-vocabulary biography is ideal for English as a Second Language or adult basic education students. Oskar Schindler (1908-1974) risked his life to protect the lives of the Jewish people who worked for him during the reign of Hitler. As the horror of the Holocaust swept across German-occupied territory, Schindler used his wealth, his ingenuity, and his connections with the Nazis to move the Jewish workers to safety.
