I recently read and reveiwed this book. Here’s my post: http://embejoetc.wordpress.com/2010/06/27/night-elie-wiesel/

Another favourite Holocaust book is The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom. Her family were captured and sent to Ravensbruk camp for hiding Jews in their home in Holland. It’s less explicit making it suitable for younger readers, and includes a lot about her faith in God, and subsequent forgiveness after the war.

I just re-read this one a couple of weeks back. I want to read the other two books in the trilogy, too. I hope it's okay that I linked to your review on War Through the Generations. --Anna

I read this book before my blogging days and it was amazing. Like you, I’ve always intended to read the other two books as well. It’s been years and I still haven’t gotten to them yet.

I’ve been avoiding this, too. It sounds so powerful, I really should.

Thanks for the great review; and the encouragement to move NIGHT from “maybe someday” to wish list!

My “favorite(s)” would be Art Spiegelman’s Maus-books. I haven’t read Night yet, but it’s definitely in the TBR-pile!

Yeah, I know you’ve done a ton of Holocaust-themed reading, Mrs. Chili. I really want to read The Book Thief; I started it during the June read-a-thon last year, but it wasn’t great middle-of-the-night reading for me and I haven’t gone back to it yet.

And yes, it’s a bit embarrassed to admit having not read this until now, but I’m OK with that. I have read it now, and I’m clearly not the only reader who hasn’t read it yet.
