A memoir of Thomas Keneally's journey around the world to discover the complete story of Oskar Schindler and those Jews whose names were included on his now-famous list. In 1980, Keneally walked into a store in Beverly Hills owned by Polish Jew Leopold Pfefferberg Page to buy a new briefcase. For the next few years, Keneally's life was taken over by this charismatic and driven man, known as Poldek, and the story he wanted to share. The resulting book was Schindler's Ark, which went on to win the Booker Prize and ultimately became the Oscar-award-winning film Schindler's List. Keneally and Poldek travelled across the United States, Germany, Israel, Austria and Poland, interviewing survivors and discovering their extraordinary stories. Searching for Schindler is very much Thomas Keneally's journey; he reflects on his early days as a successful but less than confident writer, and how this book, the film it became and the people he met, changed his and his family's lives forever.
