Holocaust Books

These books on the Holocaust are highly recommended. Next to traveling to the camps and speaking to survivors, Holocaust literature is the closest we can get to understanding the Holocaust experience.
Night by Elie Wiesel
Night, an autobiographical account by Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel of life in Nazi death camps, is a must-read. Wiesel takes the reader with him from his home, into the ghetto, on the transport, through Selections, into the concentration camps, on the Death March, and beyond. Reading this book gives one a deeper and more personal understanding of the Holocaust experience. This understanding enables people to genuinely remember the Holocaust, which helps to ensure it won't happen again.
Tell Me Another Morning by Zdena Berger
Tell Me Another Morning, an autobiographical account of Zdena Berger's experiences in Nazi concentration camps, is a powerful book that will change your understanding of the Holocaust. Readers accompany Berger as she leaves her home in Prague at age 16, survives Terezin, Hamburg Labor Camp, Auschwitz, and Bergen-Belsen due to strong friendships she develops with other teenage girls, and then makes her solitary return to Prague at age 20. Read how a young woman survives Nazi death camps.
