Schindler's list found in library

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 yesterday.

Staff 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.
