Take the actual list (page one above). A featureless business ledger, the list is indistinguishable from the many concentration camp registers and death records Schindler’s fellow Nazis kept assiduously as they went about the business of eradicating a whole population. We know, of course, that Schindler played the part of a party believer to save lives instead of take them, but it’s still quite eerie to look over this faceless list of names and contemplate how close these men and women came to the horrors of the camps that took so many of their neighbors, friends, and relatives.

The list above is now on sale through an Ebay auction, starting bid 3 million dollars. It is certified authentic as the actual list typed up by Shindler’s accountant Itzhak Stern

1. I find this sad. Some things should not be for purchase.

[Skittles]

3. I agree

[leftynyc]

4. I agree

It should be in a museum and perhaps whoever buys it has those plans...we'll have to see.

9. I agree. To see this up for sale is actually depressing.

Wish it could have been donated to the Holocaust Museum.

12. $3m listings on ebay are generally for attention, not a sale

I think somebody who wanted to sell this would go to Sotheby's

11. I'm OK with the sale, if it leads to a proper, respectful exhibit of the list.

The holocaust museum in D.C., for instance.

I'd hate to see it framed on the wall of a wealthy person's residence, like some sort of personal trophy......

14. Yup, buy it and donate it to some place for all to see...nt
