Penguin Readers 6

This is a Penguin Readers graded adaptation (Level 6) of Thomas Keneally's novel Schindler's Ark, published in the US as Schindler's List, simplified for advanced English-language learners.

Set in Nazi-occupied Poland, the story follows Oskar Schindler, a German businessman who takes control of an enamelware factory staffed by Jewish workers. Initially driven by profit, Schindler gradually risks his wealth, his freedom, and his life to protect his workers from deportation and death, eventually saving more than a thousand people.

Based on real events and people, the graded text keeps the weight of Keneally's Booker Prize-winning novel while using vocabulary and sentence structures suited to advanced learners.
