There are two elements in the case that make this of interest to manuscript curators. The lawsuit was an attempt by the copyright owner, Marta Rosenberg, to prevent the sale of the document. (It apparently is not, as the lawsuit suggests, the copy that is "the object of this lawsuit.") A third copy belonged to Schindler's accountant and is now for sale from M.I.T.
That copy was included in the Keneally papers purchased by the State Library of New South Wales. A second copy ended up in the hands of one of Schindler's employees, who eventually gave it to Thomas Keneally, the author of the book on which the Schindler's List movie is based. One copy of the list is physcially housed in the Holocaust Museum Yad Vashem in Israel, though copyright in the document belongs to Marta Rosenberg, the heir to Schindler's widow. Rosenberg v Zimet concerned the ownership of a version of "Schindler's List," the list of essential employees used by Oskar Schindler to protect many of them from transportation to death camps. The Volokh Conspiracy blog recently highlighted a case of interest to anyone who deals with manuscripts.
