Synagogue

The book Schindler's list opens up in the Autumn of 1943, it describes Oskar Schindler as a tall, classy man with strong features. The first three chapters of Schindler's list by Thomas Keneally were monotonous. They seemed to drag on, and were not interesting to me. I felt that the first three chapters could have ended sooner. Thomas Keneally seemed to drag on about subjects that had little affect to the story. The book started to change in the fourth chapter, it began to talk about the cruelty of the Nazi soldiers. At the end of the chapter, Thomas Keneally talks about the Nazi's going into a  synagogue during prayer, making the Jewish people spit on a Torah, and when Max Redlicht refused to spit on the Torah, the Nazi's shot him and the rest of the people. Thomas Keneally makes it clear that Oskar Schindler does not share the same thoughts or views of the Jewish race as the Nazi's do.
