Schindler's list, one of four original copies, for sale on eBay

Two California collectors are selling the only copy of Oskar Schindler's famous list that isn't owned by a museum. Schindler, a member of the Nazi party during WWII, is credited with saving over 1,000 Jews by listing them as necessary workers in his factory.

Oskar Schindler kept a list, and now you can have it… for $3 million-plus.

One of four original copies of Schindler's famous list, which the eponymous Steven Spielberg-directed 1993 movie was based on, has been placed up for auction on eBay.

A German industrialist and member of the Nazi party, Schindler is credited with rescuing some 1,100 Jews during the Holocaust. He managed to save them from death in the concentration camps by saying they were necessary for work in his factory. 

Names on his famous lists are Jews who he wanted excluded from extermination.

Schinder's accountant, Izhak Stern -- played by Ben Kingsley in the movie -- typed up the 14-page list on onion-skin paper, and his nephew sold it to its current owner. The document -- which comes with a signed affidavit from the nephew -- is dated in pencil on the front page, April 18, 1945.

The one up for auction is the only original version that is not locked away in a museum and the only one to have ever hit the open market. Stored in Israel, it's being sold by a collector with a reserve price of $3 million -- but its sellers, California collectors Gary Zimet and Eric Gazin, are hoping it will go for as high as $5 million, according to the New York Post.

"We decided to sell the list on eBay because it has over 100 million worldwide members, and this is a global story," Gazin told the Post.

Potential purchasers have to qualify just to bid on the item. It is being presented for bid by gazinauctions, which has earned 98.8 percent positive feedback on eBay.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
