Schindler's List List Pages/Ring
One of the most iconic and emotionally charged collectibles ever offered. There have been many excellent motion pictures concerning the horrific holocaust, but the most magnificently realized is Steven Spielberg’s “Schindler’s List” (1993). This is the true story of a dedicated Nazi, and successful businessman, Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson) who arrives in Krakow, Poland with a plan to use the imprisoned Jews as cheap labor to make goods for the German military. He enlists the help of Itzhak Stern (Ben Kingsley) a local Jewish resident to help him. However, slowly Schindler observes the horrors around him, both in the liquidation of the “Jewish Ghetto”, and the building of a “camp”, and begins to try and find ways to save these innocent souls. He realizes if he “hires” these people for his factory, he can save them. So he begins to make a list. In the end, Schindler is able to save over 1100 Jews from death. As he is leaving, those he saved meet him at the train station, and present him with crude gold they have fashioned to thank him. Perhaps two of the most highly charged images in the film is the crudely typed pages of the “list”, just ink spots on a page that mean life and death, and the gold ring. The scene at the end where Schindler is presented the ring surrounded by many workers he saved, is considered to be one of the top ten most emotionally changed scenes in film history. He puts it on his finger and then says the famous sorrowful line: “I could have saved more”. However, the message of the ring is: “Whoever saved one life saves a world entire (from the Sanhedrin part of the Talmud). These two magnificent pieces come in a museum quality display. Six pages of the screen used original “list” are stacked and then encased in a custom Plexiglas frame. It also includes the famous graphic of Schindler’s hand holding the hand of the Jewish child Red Genia (Oliwia Dabrowska), the little girl with the red coat that is the turning point in Schindler’s conscience. The display also includes a specially constructed holder for the gold ring with a screen shot of Schindler receiving it, and an engraved plaque that reads: “The gold ring given to Liam Neeson by the Jewish factory workers – SCHINDLERS LIST”. It also includes a Letter of Provenance for the "list papers", a personal letter from “Schindler’s List” prop master Batia Grafka. (Display approx. 15x15”, Custom List encased frame approx. 14x9”).
