A list of Jews saved by Oskar Schindler that inspired the novel and Oscar-winning film "Schindler's List" has been found in a Sydney library, its co-curator said.

Workers at the New South Wales State Library found the list, containing the names of 801 Jews saved from the Holocaust by the businessman, as they sifted through boxes of Australian author Thomas Keneally's manuscript material.

The 13-page document, a yellowed and fragile carbon typescript copy of the original, was found between research notes and German newspaper clippings in one of the boxes, library co-curator Olwen Pryke said.

Pryke described the 13-page list as "one of the most powerful documents of the 20th Century" and was stunned to find it in the library's collection.

"This list was hurriedly typed on April 18, 1945, in the closing days of WWII, and it saved 801 men from the gas chambers," she said.

15. Tear jerker? It was beyond that! It was jarring.

It has to be one of the best movies I have seen about the Holocaust that was fiction.

back to his lair. Good job, mods.

9. Yes, good job. The post above was one of the most

offensive I've ever seen here. He/she/it stopped trying to pretend it was anything other than merrily filled with Nazi love. Extremely creepy.

10. I didn't see it before it was deleted

but it was obvious from its posts in the other thread that it was a disgusting anti-semite cloaking its hate in anti-zionism. glad the creep got tombstoned.
