A list of 801 Jews saved during the Holocaust by German businessman Oskar Schindler has been recovered from a Sydney library. The story inspired the novel and Oscar-winning film "Schindler's list," and led to Schindler's being named a Righteous Gentile by the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem.
Employees at the New South Wales State Library found the list in boxes containing German news clippings and manuscripts by the Australian author Thomas Keneally, who wrote the bestselling novel Schindler's Ark.
The library's co-curator, Olwen Pyke, described the 13-page yellowing document as "one of the most powerful documents of the 20th Century" and said that the library was stunned to find it among the six boxes containing Kneally's material.
