Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I've put some websites in the source box that should be of some use!. Just google the holocaust or any aspects you need to know about (eg!. children in the holocaust, liberation of concentration camps) In terms of books, off the top of my head, as mentioned above by somebody else, Anne Frank is a brilliant first hand account that should be helpful for anyone studying the topic!. Other books I recommend are 'Witnesses of War' (http://www!.amazon!.com/Witnesses-War-Chil!.!.!. and Defying Hitler by Sebastian Haffner (http://www!.amazon!.com/Defying-Hitler-Mem!.!.!. I'm not sure where you live but visiting a museum or exhibition can shed light on the topic - If your in the UK, The Imperial War Museum in London or The Holocaust Center outside Newark!. Not sure about the US but I'm sure you could ask your teacher if there's anywhere of use nearby!. Hope this helps!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Diary of Anne Frank; It's the second most famous book on earth (besides the Bible)!. It's the apparent story of all she went through during the Holocaust!.
