Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
PERFECT QUESTION!

When I was in middle school I read a book called "My Story" by Alicia Appleman-Jurman (ISBN: 0553282182)!. The author actually came to my school and spoke to us, so it had special meaning to me!. After that I found a book called "Soldat" by Siegfried Knappe (ISBN: 0440215269)!.

The former is written by a holocaust survivor!. The latter is written by a soldier in the German regular army, specifically not S!.S!. and, so he claims, not involved in the well known atrocities!. He writes the book from the perspective of a young soldier doing what he was told to do!. I'm not saying that he's right and I'm not saying that he was wrong!. It was quite interesting to me though to have that window into a period in our history that I find so fascinating!.

There you have it!

night, the upstairs room by johanna reiss, Behind the Bedroom Wall by laura williams, daniel's story by carol matas, and i personally loved The boy in the striped pajamas!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Maus by Art Spiegelman!. It is a graphic nobel, but manages to portray more emotion than any book I've ever read on the subject!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

By far the best one out right now is Night - Ellie Weisel!. Its very easy to read and you could finish it in a day or two and its very griping!Www@QuestionHome@Com
