Blurb: In the shadow of Auschwitz, a flamboyant German industrialist grew into a living legend to the Jews of Cracow. He was a womaniser and heavy drinker who enjoyed the good life, yet to them he became a saviour.

Why: Once again.. after putting back my last book, i needed something to read didn’t i? I’ve seen the movie a long time ago, and partly because i think Emily would be proud to see me taking an interest in some ww2-esque stuff. :P

Thoughts so far: Good book. Sometimes getting slightly to biographical+historical for me, but then other times touching me in ways which i’m sure all historians (and ppl interested in history, and the shocking things ppl do) are interested in.
