I have confidence that it was based on "Schindler's List,"
by Thomas Keneally.

From Library Journal

"How the German Oskar Schindler came to save more than one thousand Polish Jews during the Holocaust is one of the most fascinating stories of the century. Although millions are now learning about Schindler through Steven Spielberg's recent Academy AwardR-winning film, his achievement first gained prominence with Keneally's 1982 "facticious" novel (which is also the basis for the film). Keneally's account is less melodramatic than the motion picture, and although he does not fully explain how a hedonistic German could have been so altered by the plight of the Jewish workers in his factory, he does make Schindler less enigmatic than the big-screen version."

That's all I know. What is your answer?

That the book was originally called "Schindler's Ark" but the title was changed to "Schindler's List" for the movie. With the success of the movie, the book title was changed too.

I'd love to take credit for the question, but DH asked me when I was googling the QoD stuff. I didn't know either. He said he read it when studying for his A levels.

I'll take my lumps as necessary, since it seems like everybody interpreted this question different than I.

What I was thinking was that a lot of the sites I was reading made it sound like at first the workers were mainly in Plaszow and then he had them moved to the more humane Emalia camp.

I suspect you meant "rescued" where I was thinking more "where were the workers, um, housed, while they were working for Schindler"
