Schindler's list discovered in Australia

A copy of the list compiled by German businessman Oskar Schindler which saved hundreds of Jewish workers during the Holocaust has been discovered by a researcher at an Australian library.

Workers at the New South Wales State Library found the list containing the names of 801 Jews, as they sifted through boxes of manuscripts of Australian author Thomas Keneally.

The 13-page document, a yellowed and fragile carbon typescript copy of the original, was discovered between research notes and German newspaper clippings in one of the boxes, library co-curator Olwen Pryke said Monday, according to AFP.

She said the library had no idea the list was among six boxes of material acquired in 1996 relating to Keneally's Booker Prize-winning novel, originally published as "Schindler's Ark" and which was the basis for the Oscar-winning 1993 film, Schindler's List.
