Oskar Schindler (28 April 1908 – 9 October 1974)

(Fox News) – No, not a DVD of the 1993 Oscar-winning Steven Spielberg
film, but one of the original Schindler’s lists, the only one ever to go on the
open market, will be publicly auctioned tonight on the popular shopping Web 
site eBay.The reserve price is an eye-popping $3 million. But its sellers, 
California collectors Gary Zimet and Eric Gazin, are hoping it will go for as
high as $5 million.

The “list” was named for Oskar Schindler, a businessman from Germany
who is credited with saving more than 1,000 Jewish refugees from the
Nazis by deeming them essential workers for his enamel-works factories.

Of the seven original versions of the list, only four are known to still exist,
including two in Yad Vashem, the Israeli Holocaust Memorial Museum, and
one in the US Holocaust Museum in Washington. The one being offered
for sale on eBay tonight is 14 onion-skin pages long.

Jack Leroy "Jackie" Wilson, Jr. (June 9, 1934 – January 21, 1984)

Wilson was important in the transition of rhythm and blues into soul. He was
considered  one of the most dynamic and influential singers and performers
in R&B and rock history. Gaining fame in his early years as a member of the
R&B vocal group Billy Ward and His Dominoes, he went solo in 1957 and
recorded over 50 hit singles that spanned R&B, pop, soul, doo-wop and
easy listening. During a 1975 benefit concert, he collapsed on-stage from
a heart attack and subsequently fell into a coma that persisted for nearly
nine years until his death in 1984 at age 49. By this time, he had become
one of the most influential artists of his generation.
