BY THE NUMBERS — Schindler’s List on sale for $3 million+

(Israel Hayom/Exclusive to JNS.org) The original physical list compiled by German industrialist Oskar Schindler, who saved 801 Jews from being transferred to the Auschwitz death camp by employing them in his factory during World War II, was put up for public auction on eBay on Friday, July 19. The starting price for the list is $3 million.

The document, printed in 1945 and consisting of 14 pages, is one of four rare copies of Schindler’s list. Director Steven Spielberg used one of the copies during production of his Oscar-winning 1993 film, “Schindler’s List.”

The current owners purchased the authenticated document from the nephew of Yitzhak Stern, Schindler’s accountant who typed each list, and whose family held on to the document in Israel throughout the years. California collectors Gary Zimet and Eric Gazin said they hope to sell the list for $5 million.
