Hello. 
I am looking for more books to read on a specific subject and thought I would post to ask if anyone has any recommendations. It's a very sensitive topic. I am looking for books on the subject of the Holocaust, Auschwitz, etc. Personal accounts are preferred.
I tend to get into topic phases with reading books. So when I read a book about a particular subject I am sensitive about, I want to read many different ones. I can't seem to get to the point where I feel I'm done reading about this subject.
Here is a list of the books I have read on this subject so far:
NIGHT - by Elie Weisel
INSIDE THE GAS CHAMBERS - by Shlomo Venezia
FIVE CHIMNEYS: A WOMAN'S TRUE STORY OF AUSCHWITZ - by Olga Lengyel
SURVIVAL IN AUSCHWITZ - by Primo Levi
THIS WAY FOR THE GAS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN - by Tadeusz Borowski
I HAVE LIVED A THOUSAND YEARS - by Livia Bitton-Jackson
RENA'S PROMISE by Rena Kornreich Gelissen
Right now I am reading 'AUSCHWITZ: A New History' by Laurence Rees.
I also own 'THE EVIL THAT MEN DO: THE STORY OF THE NAZIS'.
Similar book recommendations is appreciated as well.
THANKS SO MUCH EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
* Please, don't ask me why I would "chOose to read something so horrible like this", etc. Yes, these books are beyond upsetting and sad, horrific, appalling and extremely affecting. I know that. I'm definitely not the same person I was before I starting reading them. But on the bright side, I look at life a little differently now. All of the simple luxuries in life that most of us tend to take for granted, such as food, water and clothing, I am grateful and thankful for everyday.*

i am at school right now but i have a couple of books at home that are about the holocaust. i will have to let you know what they are when i get home! and i don't think it's weird to be interested in the topic at all, as I think it's interesting myself.0

Thanks. I have this book but I am am not very interested in reading it. I have tried but just can't get into it.
In all honesty, The Diary Of Anne Frank is a vacation compared to the books I've read.0 -
Thanks so much!
I look forward to hearing what books you have.

Therre's a lot of Holocaust literature out there. I went through a phase just recently and read a lot of Elie Wiesel.
Small Miracles of the Holocaust by Yitta Halberstam is also good.0
