Hello! I’m interested in finding books about the holocaust. Non-fiction or historical fiction is mostly what I’m looking for. Let me know if you have any good recommendations.

Bloodlands by Tim Snyder for context
Between Dignity and Despair by Marion Kaplan

Ka-Tzetnik 135633, House of Dolls (1953). Please note that, despite rumors and controversies, the book should not be considered based on certified historical facts (the Nazi brothels inside camps), but rather on the author’s memories and impressions
Olivier Guez, La disparition de Josef Mengele, 2017. Movie soon to be released
Asher Kravitz, The Jewish Dog, 2007. This is a very stunning novel.

Forgotten voices of the Holocaust by Lyn Smith.
It’s non fiction, a collection of first hand accounts of the people who lived through the Holocaust. The accounts tell a story that goes over the whole thing. A great book, very moving.

The Nightengale by Kristin Hannah is one of the best. Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly is another
polstar2505 on
Into That Darkness by Gita Sereny explores how the commandant of Treblinka became a person capable of murdering 900,000 people.

The Choice by Edith Eger. Wish this one was talked about more! Dropping a summary below.
The Choice: Embrace the Possible by Dr. Edith Eva Eger is a memoir and self-help book detailing the author’s survival of Auschwitz at age 16, her journey through trauma to become a psychologist, and her philosophy that we can choose to be free from the prisons of our minds.
