I have had a lot of people ask me for some books about the Holocaust...both fiction and nonfiction. So, here are a few of my recommendations. I will caution that reading these are not for the faint of heart. I took a few classes in college where I did a lot of reading...and I did a couple research papers. It wasn't a good time. But, I think that the more people read about it, the more we can help prevent something like this happening again...although, there are places in today's world that seem to be doing similar things. But, that is a topic for another day. Here are some of my recommendations.
The True Story of Hansel and Gretel by Louise Murphy
Hana's Suitcase by Karen Levine
Sophie's Choice by William Styton
Six Million Paperclips by Peter W Schroeder
Night by Elie Wiesel
Survival in Auschwitz by Primo Levi
Ordinary Men by Christopher Browning
Anne Frank Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
This is only a few...I have read so many more. As I know many of my friend have. Please post your recommendations!!

I will have to jog my memory and post some books. I feel like i have read TOO much on the subject. It's creepy how much I know.
Schindler's List was good (but not as powerful as the movie)
Meip Giese(anne franks helper while in attic) wrote a book about her experience that was amazing.
I'll find more & post them Unfortunatly...i'm too passionate about the subject.
and---what about the book Ordinary Men (?) about the German Men who were forced to be Nazi's? that was sooo good. pass that along, too.
