A copy of the Schindler’s List for sale

FB, 16 November 2016
The 13-page-long yellowed document, dated 18 April 1945, lists the names and personal data of 801 Jews saved by a German businessman, Oskar Schindler, from the Holocaust in the Nazi concentration camps.


According to professor David Crowe, an expert on Schindler’s List from Elon University (North Carolina), the businessman wrote nine or ten lists of the Jews employed in his plants. None of the originals was found, but there are five known carbon paper copies.

Two of them are in Jerusalem’s Yad Vashem, one is in The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and one is in the German Federal Archives (Bundesarchiv) in Koblenz — said Zimet.

Until recently, the fifth copy, which is now for sale, had been in the possession of the family of Izaak Stern, Schindler’s accountant. It is currently kept by an anonymous owner represented by Zimet.
