[PRAGUE] Oskar Schindler's factory is headed for the market, and Blahoslav Kaspar knows it will be a tough sell.

The mayor of Brnenec, a village of 1,300 in the eastern Czech Republic, insists the crumbling complex would be the perfect spot for any kind of light industry. He also suggests it could be a Holocaust museum.

The factory once belonged to Mr Schindler, a Czech-German industrialist, spy and a member of the Nazi party who sheltered about 1,200 Jews there in the final months of the Second World War. Their story was featured in Steven Spielberg's Academy award-winning 1993 film Schindler's List.
