Anonymous Buyer Paid $122,000 for Schindler Documents

Key documents that helped save the lives of over 1,000 Jewish workers have been sold for a high price at an Amherst auction house, according to the Associated Press.

RR Auction sold documents from World War II industrialist Oskar Schindler for $122,000 in an online auction. The collection included a letter that moved Jewish factory workers out of Poland, which saved their lives.

The letter inspired the famous movie “Schindler’s List.”

The letter reads as follows: “The employee of my armament factory, Adam Dziedzic, residing in Krakau, Nadwaislanska 21, on the order of the general military command in Krakau, received a clearings contract for unloading and assembling war-necessary machinery and has been sent to Sudetengau. This certificate is temporarily valid until September 30, 1944.”

The buyer who purchases the documents on Wednesday wishes to remain anonymous.
