Opening:

In Poland`s deepest autumn, a tall young man in an expensive overcoat, double-breasted dinner jacket beneath it and - in the laple of the dinner jacket - a large ornamental gold-on-black enamel swastika, emerged from a fashionable apartment block in Straszewskiego Street on the edge of the ancient centre of Cracow, and saw his chauffeur waiting with fuming breath by the open door of an enormous and, even in this blackened world, lustrous Adler limousine.
(Thomas Keneally: Schindler`s Ark, page 15)
