The two fountain pens are presented in a hinged Parker case, annotated inside the cover in ballpoint by Emilie Schindler's biographer Erika Rosenberg. Emilie was Oskar's wife. The inscription reads:
"Nachlass Oskar Schindler 1957 in Buenos Aires bei Emilie hinterlassen. Oskar Schindler 1908-1974. Erika Rosenberg Weihnachten 2007."
Translation: Bequest of Oskar Schindler, left in 1957 in Buenos Aires with Emilie. Oskar Schindler 1908-1974. Erika Rosenberg Christmas 2007.
You may be young and you may not have heard of Oskar Schindler. In fact, if there hadn't been a book or a film about him, possibly I wouldn't know about him either.

Oskar was a German industrialist and member of the Nazi party who saved over 1,000 Jewish lives during the Holocaust, by having them work in his factories.
He is a bona fide hero. When he died on 9 October 1974 in Hildesheim, Germany, he was buried in Jerusalem on Mount Zion.
Oskar Schindler is the only member of the Nazi Party to be honoured in this way.
