犹太人救命符「辛德勒的名单」　在澳洲图书馆被找到(2009/04/06 19:29) 朱锦华／综合报导 澳洲雪梨的一名图书馆长说，曾挽救大批犹太人性命，着名的「辛德勒的名单」， 最近在澳洲被找到。据了解，是新南威尔斯国立图书馆里的工作人员找到这份名单的。 图书馆人员在整理澳洲作家坎尼利（Thomas Keneally）捐赠的手稿和材料时，在一 堆笔记与剪报当中百发现了这份名单。 它总共有13页，是一份已经发黄的、匆匆完成的打字稿的复写本。时间是欧战结束 前夕的1945年4月18日，上面登记着801名在被德国商人辛德勒救出的犹太人的名字。 二战期间，德国商人辛德勒以他的工厂需要人手为由，先後保住了上千名犹太人的 性命，让他们躲过被送进集中营毒气室的命运。 1980年初，一名犹太人「大浩劫」的幸存者把这份名单交给澳洲作家坎尼利 （Thomas Keneally），并且建议他把这个故事写下来。1982年坎尼利出版小说《辛德勒 的方舟》（Schindler's Ark），并且获得英国布克奖。 1993年名导演史蒂芬史匹柏把这个故事搬上银幕後（由连恩尼逊饰演辛德勒），更 让辛德勒英勇救人的故事从此知名於世。 该图书馆的共同馆长派克形容这份名单是「二十世纪最具震撼力的文件之一」；是 「人类历史的重要资产」；而且更惊讶它竟然是在自己掌管的图书内馆内被发现。 派克说，小说与电影都描述名单只有一份，但事实上辛德勒先後发出过好几份救人 的名单。 http://www.nownews.com/2009/04/06/334-2433130.htm --------------------------------------------------------------------- Original 'Schindler's List' found in Sydney April 6, 2009 A list of Jews saved by Oskar Schindler that inspired the novel and Oscar-winning film "Schindler's List" has been found in a Sydney library, its co-curator said. Workers at the New South Wales State Library found the list, containing the names of 801 Jews saved from the Holocaust by the businessman, as they sifted through boxes of Australian author Thomas Keneally's manuscript material. The 13-page document, a yellowed and fragile carbon typescript copy of the original, was found between research notes and German newspaper clippings in one of the boxes, library co-curator Olwen Pryke said. Pryke described the 13-page list as "one of the most powerful documents of the 20th Century" and was stunned to find it in the library's collection. "This list was hurriedly typed on April 18, 1945, in the closing days of WWII, and it saved 801 men from the gas chambers," she said. "It's an incredibly moving piece of history." 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". The 1982 novel told the story of how the roguish Schindler discovered his conscience and risked his life to save more than 1,000 Jews from the Nazis. Hollywood director Steven Spielberg turned it into a film in 1993 starring Liam Neeson as Schindler and Ralph Fiennes as the head of an SS-run camp. Pryke said that, although the novel and film implied there was a single, definitive list, Schindler actually compiled a number of them as he persuaded Nazi bureaucrats not to send his workers to the death camps. She said the document found by the library was given to Keneally in 1980 by Leopold Pfefferberg -- named on the list as Jewish worker number 173 -- when he was persuading the novelist to write Schindler's story. As such, it was the list that inspired Keneally to tell the world about Schindler's heroics, she said. Pryke said she had no idea how much the list was worth. Schindler, born in a German-speaking part of Austria-Hungary in 1908, began the war as a card-carrying Nazi who used his connections to gain control of a factory in Krakow, Poland, shortly after Hitler invaded the country. He used Jewish labour in the factory but, as the war progressed, he became appalled at the conduct of the Nazis. Using bribery and charm, he persuaded officials that his workers were vital to the war effort and should not be sent to the death camps. Schindler died relatively unknown in 1974, but he gained public recognition following Keneally's book and Spielberg's film. Sydney Morning Herald http://0rz.tw/apEAV --
