Germany, etc? ? I am really interested in the holocaust and want to read some books about it. I would mostly like to read books about first person accounts of people who survived concentration camps or someones diary who was in a concentration camp. I would like something that explains in detail what a concentration camp was like and what they did to Jewish people. Also I would like to know of some good books about Adolf Hitler, about his life. Like a biography or something.
-Thank You
I HIGHLY recommend "The Hiding Place" by Corrie Ten Boom!!
It started out just as a book I had to read for school, but I ended up reading it in just a couple of days because it was amazing! I cried and it just really showed what some people had to go through during the concentration camps, holocaust.
All of the books by Elie Weisel. There is a series of books by Aaron Appelfeld that are stunning. Greta Weisman wrote one. Greta Kemp. I'm sure that if you wrote the Holocaust Museum in Washington, they could provide you with an extensive and comprehensive list of books and authors. Jerzey Kozinski's The Painted Bird is extraordinary. There is a wonderful book by William Kotzwinkle called Dr. Rat that is about regimes such as the Nazis, with a laboratory rat as Hitler. It's most imaginative and unique. The are numerous diaries by survivors that are heart-breaking. Justifiably so many that's all that come to mind at the moment.
