Schindler's List found in Sydney
Oskar Schindler's list which saved 801 men from the gas chambers was found sandwiched between research notes and German newspaper clippings gathered by Australian author Thomas Keneally.


A list compiled by the German industrialist Oskar Schindler has been discovered by a researcher at a library in Australia.

Schindler's list helped hundreds of Jewish workers escape death in the Holocaust during World War II.

It was found in research notes which belonged to the Australian author of Schindler's Ark - the basis for the Oscar-winning film, Schindler's List.

The document was found at the New South Wales Library in Sydney.
