This biography of Oskar Schindler is a high-interest, low-vocabulary book for adolescents and adults with limited literacy skills. 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.
