Schindler's
daughter says discovered documents should
go to Yad Vashem STUTTGART,
Germany - A
daughter of Oskar Schindler says a
stack of recently discovered documents
should be given to the Yad Vashem
Holocaust memorial, and not to his widow
as she has demanded, a newspaper
reported. In an article published yesterday,
Stuttgarter
Nachrichten said the illegitimate
daughter's identity was verified by
witnesses and records of alimony payments
to her mother from Schindler. The paper
did not give the woman's name. Schindler
saved the lives of 1,200 Jews working
at his factory during World War II by
convincing the Nazi SS that the Jews
were crucial to the German war
effort. A suitcase full of Schindler's papers,
dealing mostly with his life after World
War II, was found by a Stuttgart couple
and made public by the Stuttgarter Zeitung
this month. Schindler's widow Emilie
Schindler, now living in Argentina,
has said that she plans to travel to
Germany to claim the documents as their
rightful owner. But the daughter said they
should be given to Yad Vashem, as the
newspaper has said it plans to do. "I don't think that (Schindler) left
the suitcase with the condition that it be
given later to Emilie Schindler," the
64-year-old daughter told the
paper. |
