The real Schindler's list can be yours for $2.2m

According to Steven Spielberg's famous biopic, Schindler's List, Czech businessman Oskar Schindler used just one list to save the lives of more than 1,000 Jews during World War Two.

In reality, more than one copy of the list was made. Today, only a handful of these have survived - and just one exists in private hands.

Now, the real-life Schindler's list is up for sale with an incredible asking price of $2.2m.

Compiled by Schindler and Itzhak Stern, the great violinist and humanitarian, the list is reportedly dated April 18, 1945. Thirteen pages long, it lists 801 names.

The list is being sold by a collector based in upstate New York, on a "first come, first serve" basis.

Only a few copies of Schindler's list are known to have survived over the years, and can be found in museums in the US and Israel.

Schindler's List, Steven Spielberg's epic screen retelling of the story, received great acclaim and Academy Awards upon its release in 1993.

The film starts Liam Neeson as Schindler, alongside Ralph Fiennes as Schutzstaffel (SS) officer Amon Göth.
