BOSTON, MASS.- A remarkable collection of Oskar Schindler's personal possessions will be auctioned by Boston-based RR Auction.

Schindler was a German industrialist credited with saving almost 1,200 Jews during the Holocaust by employing them in his enamelware and ammunitions factories.

Schindler’s story was recounted in the 1982 novel Schindler's Ark by Australian author Thomas Keneally and became the basis of Steven Spielberg's highly successful film Schindler's List in 1993 that won seven Academy Awards.

Among the Schindler items included in the sale; his Longines wristwatch, a compass, a 1938 Sudetenland Medal, two fountain pens, and a business card.

Longines wristwatch belonging to Oskar Schindler, featuring a white face with gold-tone hands and time markers, silver-tone case, and black leather strap.

Compass featured a built-in folding metal cover. -No one will ever know the story that the navigational device had to endure during those times, but we know it had its glory days and punishing moments. Navigation expert and writer for GeoSettr.com, Greg Robert, is amazed even in with the sight of it.

Sudetenland Medal belonging to Oskar Schinder. The Sudetenland Medal was awarded to all German officials and members of the Wehrmacht and SS who marched into Sudetenland, and it was later awarded to military personnel participating in the occupation of the remnants of Czechoslovakia. Schindler had aided in the annexation and occupation of the Sudetenland as a spy for the German government.

“It’s an amazing archive of Schindler's personal belongings,” said Bobby Livingston, Executive VP at RR Auction. “Schindler continues to be highly sought-after among collectors.”

Also up for auction is a Raoul Wallenberg Blue and gold Schutz-Pass issued to Emil Tanzer. The scarce one-page signed document in German and Hungarian, is dated September 15, 1944.

Wallenberg arrived in Hungary in July 1944 as the country's Jewish population was under siege. Nearly every other major Jewish community in Europe had already been decimated, and the Nazis were dispatching more than 10,000 Hungarian Jews to the gas chambers daily. With time of the essence, he devised and distributed thousands of these 'Schutz-Passes'—official-looking, but essentially invalid, Swedish passports granting the Hungarian bearer immunity from deportation. Nazi officials readily accepted the paperwork.

Thus, with his simple, nondescript scribble on this offered page, Wallenberg saved the life of Emil Tanzer—just as he had done with tens of thousands of other Jews in Hungary. An announcement that any Jew, even those holding foreign citizenship, would be interred led to the urgency of Wallenberg's plan to save as many lives as he could. An important reminder of one heroic man's tireless efforts to outwit the Nazis and save countless lives.

The Fine Autographs and Artifacts Auction from RR Auction will conclude on March 6.
