For the novel I’m wrapping up, I read 29 Shoah diaries and memoirs (along with another 100 books of history and culture for background). Some that I can recommend include: • Bauman, Janina. Winter in the Morning: A young girl’s life in the Warsaw ghetto and beyond. Virago, 1991. • Frankl, Viktor, Man’s Search for Meaning. Translated by Ilse Lasch, Beacon Press, 2006. • Libitzky, Eva and Fred Rosenbaum. Out on a Ledge. Lehrhaus Judaica, 2014. • Spiegelman, Art. The Complete Maus. Pantheon Books, 2011. • Zapruder, Alexandra, editor. Salvaged Pages: Young Writers’ Diaries of the Holocaust. Yale University Press, 2015.
