Schindler's List - excellent

I finally read the book Schindler's List. What an excellent book. I think everyone should read it. If you somehow missed it or have seen the movie, I still recommend it because of the thoroughness of the detail. I never finished watching the movie because I was too upset by it. But the book allows you to understand the times and all the characters more gradually. When Schindler's arrested for the THIRD time by the SS, I was definitely ready for WWII to be over. We will be haunted by the Holocaust forever, and it's important to understand as much as we can about it, for its effects still ripple down through the generations.
