I lately have been drawing strength from reading the first-hand accounts of holocaust survivors. I've read Diary of a Young Girl, Maus, Night, and most recently Man's Search for Meaning. I have heard that fiction set during that time-period can contain inaccuracies, so I am most interested in autobiography suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Not exactly holocaust, but Stefan Zweig wrote his memoir The World of Yesterday in 1942 on the eve of WWII and handed it into his publisher, went home and he and his wife took cyanide
If you haven’t read Night by Elie Wiesel, it’s an absolute must.
I’m sure you’ll get a bunch of really good suggestions from all over the place. Here is another recent post with a similar request and it might be of some use to you!

If This is a Man by Primo Levi
When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit by Judith Kerr is a good one.
