1.The Zookeeper s Wife: A War StoryThe Zookeeper's Wife: A War Story
from W. W. Norton
Price: $16.29

Customer Review:
I really enjoyed this book and the photos; I learned a lot. (It should be required reading.) It's well-researched, with notes, a bibliography, and an index.

5.Eyewitness Auschwitz: Three Years in the Gas ChambersEyewitness Auschwitz: Three Years in the Gas Chambers
from Ivan R. Dee, Publisher
Price: $10.36

Customer Review:
An outstanding account of one man's experiance. I liked the way the story was told with more of a narative perspective rather than a dramatic one. I think this allows you to feel your own emotions rather than the authors. I intend to visit soon and see it 1st hand. May we never forget.

from Pantheon
Price: $19.73

Customer Review:
Although I am not Jewish I feel the same as the Jews that Holocaust books MUST be read. I was horrified to learn recently that a 37-year-old cousin did not know what a fascist was. This is NOT okay. Already thing are happening in the U.S. that mirror what happened in Germany before World War II, but... more info

7.Auschwitz: A Doctor s Eyewitness AccountAuschwitz: A Doctor's Eyewitness Account
from Arcade Publishing
Price: $11.19

Customer Review:
The problem with this book is that it thrusts a very negative and dark side of life into all that read it. Of course the book carries factual data that needs to be known- but we all must be careful about how obsessed we become with the darkness of humanity. Reading books like this keep the holocaust... more info

from Hippocrene Books
Price: $13.57

Customer Review:
I read this book on a trip to Poland and it enhanced the experience tremendously. Another reviewer wrote dismissively of this book, suggesting no one with any discernment need bother with it since they can read the far better work of Norman Davies instead. That sort of snobbery is undeserved. This... more info

A wonderful book on moving from one culture to another and one language to another--Polish to English. Anyone who has had this experience will immediately identify with the author.

10.Echoes from the Holocaust: A MemoirEchoes from the Holocaust: A Memoir
from University of Tennessee Press
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:
Mira lived to tell the tale of the holocaust. She's carried the message of strength and forgiveness, of working through the horrors she's lived by bringing the message to all who will listen. This is a strange and different book: on the one hand, so repulsive, so unbelievable, yet, on the other... more info
