Scope and Content

This is a photocopy of Oskar Schindler's list of Jewish workers who were employed by him at the concentration camp Gross Rosen and the work camp Brünnlitz. Inclusion on the list was a guarantee of safety. The list includes the names of 297 women and 800 men, the women's names being listed alphabetically. The list is thought to be a jumble of inaccuracies, false birth dates, and altered identities. Some of the mistakes are intentional; others apparently resulting from confusion or disinformation, or simply typos. There are German spellings, Polish spellings and Hebrew transliterations into both languages.
