If you expect information about the "technical making" of this movie, you won't get much. If you search for true stories, heartwarming stories sometimes told by real characters behind the scene, you'll get more than you expect. At some points, it was hard for me to go forward without tears. For those who watched the movie, it does add much.

i enjoyed reading this book. i viewed Shindler's List as a documentary, prior to reading this book. I learned a lot about the moviemaking aspect of this extraordinary achievement , from a non documentary point of view. reality has set into my experience of the movie, not detracting but rather promoting the reality of the movie. a must for those who have been so impressed by the reality within the movie , as much as myself.

I just finished reading this in less than a week! I loved this book. As a collector of books on this movie it is by far the best one I have found. I especially loved the color photo inset. I will watch the movie again this weekend to see the author playing a German clerk in the railway siding luggage scene where he asks everone to "clearly label your luggage and it will follow you." I never knew who played this part and how many "takes" it took to get the scene correct. I also never knew Spielberg was referred to as "the master" by his cast and crew. This book gives one many interesting little details about the making of the movie. Ones that really enjoys the movie MUST read this book. It's a must!
