The Road to Rescue: The Untold Story of Schindler's List

By Mietek Pemper

Spy, businessman, Nazi Party member, and righteous gentile this was Oskar Schindler, the controversial German who saved 1,200 Jewish prisoners during the Holocaust. He put the prisoners on the now-famous Schindler's list and transferred them to his factory in the Czech Republic. Pemper, a Polish Jew, spent 540 days in the Plaszow concentration camp, working as a stenographer to Amon Goth, the camp commander. Pemper was able to pass on secret information to Schindler so he could compile his list. After World War II, Pemper was witness for the prosecution in the trials of Goth and other SS officers. Pemper's memoir is the powerful story of one man's stand against the slaughter of Jews.
