Hi there,
How are you doing today? Today apart from being 20/4/20 , also happens to be Hitler's birthday. Holocaust is something that disturbs me a great deal, to the extent that if I think about it, I have physical symptoms like breathlessness and a churning in the gut. It affects me deeply. I have no words for the most despicable, heinous and shameful incident history ever witnessed.
The visit in January by the suriviors to Auschwitz-Birkenau moved me to tears.

Apart from Diary of Anne Frank (which most people know of) , here are four books I highly recommend that have Holocaust as their theme. I am not reviewing them nor am I elaborating about what they are about, as there are tonnes of reviews already of these books, and you can look them up with a simple google search.
I am just giving you the names.
1. Man's search for meaning by Viktore Frankl: This is a life changing book which creates a paradigm shift in on's thinking.
2. Boy in Striped Pajamas by John Boyne: Read the book before you watch the movie.
3. Maus by Art Spiegelman. It took me weeks to recover from this book. It's a graphic novel which won the pulitzer prize
4. The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah :It's main theme isn't holocaust but has a lot of details of the horrors of those times. It's easily one of the finest books I have read.
Do read these books for sure. Your life will be richer having read them.
If you have any book recommendations for me on the above theme. books that deeply moved you, do let me know in my comment box.
That's all for today.
Lots of love
Preeti
