I have come into possession of a little old paperback book entitled Babi Yar, by A. Anatoli (Kuznetsov). The blurb says it is "the extraordinary story that inspired D. M. Thomas' The White Hotel." Further, "In a desolate ravine near Kiev, over 100,000 people were stripped naked, lined up, shot, clubbed and buried alive. The soldiers: Nazis. The victims: Russians, gypsies, Jews." ISBN 0-671-45135-9 |

I recently got "We Are Witnesses: Five Diaries of Teenagers Who Died in the Holocaust" by Jacob Boas from PBS. I haven't read it yet, but might post it when I'm finished. |

I find quite a few holocaust books using the Browse feature. I browse the biography/memoir genre and find lots of good books. That's just my favorite genre at the moment. |

Behind Enemy Lines by Marthe Cohn - excellent! |

Some I have read and thought were very well written (I won't list those I have already seen mentioned): Skeletons at the Feast by Chris Bohjalian My Darling Elia by Eugenie Melnyk White Picket Fences by Susan Meissner I Will Plant You a Lilac Tree by Laura Hillman the man who wrote Schindler's List also wrote a memoir about writing it called Searching for Schindler you'll come up with literally over 1000 results if you just type in Auschwitz with the search feature |

This is the first time in this forum. I am not Jewish, but am studying the Holocaust. I am building a Holocaust library in my home (collecting the best Fiction and Non-Fiction books). I have also visited Auschwitz-Birkenau twice and also Dachau and Bergen Belsen. I am going to name some on my list, and I am sorry if I am repeating someone's suggestions: Without a Doubt: I am going to repeat Night by Elie Wiesel, because it is a story that everyone, Jewish or not, should read. These are my favorites.
If anyone has any books other than these on their shelf, I would love to get some for my collection.
