One of Oskar Schindler's list is going to be publically auctioned on shopping website eBay for a reserve price of a whopping 3 million dollars.
According to the New York Post, the 'list' was named for Schindler, a businessman from Germany who is credited with saving more than 1,000 Jewish refugees from the Nazis by deeming them essential workers for his enamel-works factories.
Of the seven original versions of the list, only four are known to still exist, including two in the Israeli Holocaust Memorial Museum, and one in the US Holocaust Museum and the one being auctioned is going to be the only version ever to go on the open market.
'Schindler list's sellers Gary Zimet and Eric Gazin are hoping that it will fetch as high as 5 million dollars.
The one being offered for sale on eBay tonight which is 14 onion-skin pages long has been sold earlier too when Zimet offered it for 2.2 million dollars in 2010, on behalf of its then-owner, the nephew of Schindler confidant Itzhak Stern.
Gazin said that the winning bidder will have to give 10,000 dollars deposit within 12 hours of winning via wire transfer, credit card or PayPal, with the balance due within seven days and will also receive an affidavit from Stern's nephew affirming its provenance, the report added.
