Schindler's List Goes On Sale For $2.2 Million

Schindler's List On Sale

The privately held copy of Oskar Schindler's list bearing the names of the Jewish workers that he saved during WWII went on sale for $2.2 million (1.5 million pounds). The list dated April 18, 1945 comes at a cost of $170,000 a page. The names of eight hundred and one Jews are on the copy. 

Oskar Schindler's story laid the groundwork for Thomas Keneally's 1982 novel Schindler's Ark and Steven Spielberg's 1993 movie Schindler's List that went on to win seven Academy Awards. 

As the 65th anniversary of the end of the Second World War is drawing near, Holocaust relics are becoming more and more lucrative on the black market. In December, the infamous "Arbeit Macht Frei" sign was stolen from the site of the Auschwitz Concentration Camp. The sign was later recovered.
