A Real Schindler's List

March 23rd Reuters.

A New York memorabilia dealer is offering what appears to be an authentic list of Jewish names known better as Schindler's List of movie fame and was kept by German industrialist Otto Schindler who is credited with saving over a thousand Jewish lives during the Nazi Holocaust.

The dealer represents a private seller who, unfortunately, wants $2.2 million for the document. That would make it almost too prohibitive for most public places to bid on it.

It is one of many lists Schindler kept during the war and had been in the possession of the family of his accountant, Itzhak Stern, which sold it to the private seller. Dated April 18, 1945, it is typed on onion paper, a carbon copy, 14 pages long with the names of 801 all male Jews.

Here's Hoping That Some Museum Is Able To Get It and Put It on Display. --Cooter
