When Australian author Thomas Keneally stopped by a Los Angeles shop to replace a worn out briefcase, the shop owner – a Holocaust survivor – introduced him to the story of a Nazi German factory owner who saved 1,200 Polish Jews from death. What did it take to bring this almost forgotten story into print? And how did Steven Spielberg turn this book into a wildly successful and acclaimed film? John Kenrick returns to pull back the curtain on this landmark cinematic event and its ongoing legacy. Sponsored by the Van Winkle Foundation.
