Good evening dear forum members.
Two days ago I bought two books via amazon.com: The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas and The Book Thief. Today they have been delivered and just 5 minutes ago I finished the former on.
The idea of two boys -more oppositional one could imagine- is really heart-touching. I don't know exactly why but I really liked this book and hope that the The Book Thief will even surpass my expectations.
Since I am really interested in the Holocaust affairs I am searching for written reports of surviving victims of the Nazi Concentration Camps. Deeply moved when reading anything about the terror these people had to suffer from I want to improve my knowledge about this certain topic ( is this sentence correct?). The history books we use in school just give you a slight overview of the political and military affairs before and during World War 2 and therefore one is not really able to understand how cruel the Nazis were. But please don't understand me wrongly. I know that other countries were nearly as cruel as Germany, too (Russia, Japan).
If there are any books you could recommend to me I would be very grateful.
Greetings
Hello, I'm 'The French',
Perhaps you can see on wikipédia, because I think in wikipédia you have article with reference of books about The Second War and the life of judes too, during that bad part of history.
Have a nice day.
I think it is quite interesting as well. However, I find I cannot just keep reading these books one after the other, or I get in an awful mood.
Here is a list I found of books about life in concentration camps:
Concentration Camps - Research and Read Books, Journals, Articles at Questia Online Library
For general books on life in Nazi Germany/Japan, just search "Nazi germany" on amazon.com. You may have to look through some descriptions to find the books that are from the people's perspectives who lived it.
Hello and thank you for your recommendation.
