i read a lot of short stories about the holocaust, as well as standards like the diary of Anne Frank. I think my favorite account of personal experiences in the holocaust was Night by Elie Wiesel, which I found a thoroughly intriguing and powerful reminder of an event which should never be allowed to occur again.

I thought Night by Ellie Weisel was very good! In seventh grade we watched the Devil's Aritmetic and that was also very informative and at the same time interestingly fiction-ish.

I am absolutely obsessed and reas everything about the holocaust I can fiction or nonfiction. Night by ellie weisel was the one that got me hooked. I saw him in person once. It was so heartbreaking and eye opening

Night by Elie Wiesel is emotional and will open your eyes with his first hand account of his survival. I have had many students who hate to read but once they read this book they realized that there are people who have suffered as much if not more than they have (I teach in a juvenile detention center so teaching empathy is big). Number the Stars by Lois Lowery provides a fictional account that is great for young and struggling readers. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is another that my students were able to read and better understand the horrors of the Holocaust and made them think about what they can do to try and prevent something like that from happening again.

Most of Icchokas Meras books are about Holocaust. I have read his 'A Stalemate Lasts But a Moment'. Couldn't say it was something very special but if you are interested in the Holocoust, you could try. By the way the book is fiction...

Stalemate by Jonas Zdanys

One of my favorite books about the Holocaust. There are so many feels in this book.

In the Vilna Ghetto a Nazi Commander orders the Jewish children to be sent to death camps. One boy, Abraham Lipman, begs for him to spare the children and so the commander challenges the boy to a game of chess. If Abraham wins the children go free but he dies and if Abraham loses the children will die but he will live. There is only one way to save everyone and that's through a stalemate.
