LEOPOLD AND OSKAR: Page-No. 173 Of Schindler's List is a book written about a hero in his own right who was mainly responsible for the world-wide huge success enjoyed by the author, Thomas Keneally, and the movie producer, Steven Spielberg, for their respective roles in bringing the book and movie, Schindler's List, to the attention of millions of readers and theater goers. That man went by the name of Leopold Poldek Pfefferberg, later known as Leo Page, a member of Schindler's List, who badgered both Keneally and Spielberg until they finally relented and went to work on writing the book (Keneally) and then putting it on film (Spielberg). The story is all about Leopold and his adventures that involved his close relationship with Oskar whom he promised to immortalize for saving close to 1100 Jews, Leopold and his wife, Mila, having been among them.
