how reliable is schindlers list?

There is certainly some doubt as to whether Oskar Schindler himself drew up the list. A biography by David Crowe claimed that the list was created by another person and it was only later that Schindler 'claimed' to have created it.

The film "Schindlers List" is a dramatisation of the book, "Schindler's Ark" by Thomas Keneally. As such, it makes no claim to being historically accurate
