1.Maus I: A Survivor s Tale: My Father Bleeds HistoryMaus I: A Survivor's Tale: My Father Bleeds History
from Pantheon
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
As a Jew Living in Israel, holocaust related books are important to read, but it's hard to do it actually. I can remember several holocaust-era semi-biographic novels which are great but those are the exceptions. Most of the books are a bit bothersome though true.

from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $17.16

Customer Review:
I was intrigued by this book after hearing the authors in an interview on the BBC World Service radio station in which, among other things, they recounted how the lobby had come after them after they published the article that became the basis for this book in the London Review of Books.

from Schocken
Price: $11.20

Customer Review:
I've used Wiesenthal's The Sunflower as a text in college courses several times. On each occasion my original high estimation of Wiesenthal's narrative grows, while my dissatisfaction with the chorus of responses that takes up nearly two-thirds of the latest edition deepens.
