that's a hard question, i've read 3 of them (The Hiding Place/the Complete Maus - so Maus I/II, and The Devil's Arithmetic) - they each have their strengths and weaknesses - personally, while I liked the Complete Maus - I don't know if it would work for an english class book for me, since it is a graphic novel, but it is something different; the Hiding Place looks more at the resistance aspects of the Holocaust, as well as the role of faith and the Devil's Arithemtic is probably the most relatable since the main character is in her teenspersonally, if I had to pick, i'd probably go the Hiding Place - but then I like reading about the ordinary people who are willing to stand up to waht is right

And in your comment, you opened a parenthesis but never closed it. Sorry if I'm being a grammar Nazi.
All but my life! GREAT BOOK. So glad I got my hands on this book. Heartbreaking, hard to read at some points but BEAUTIFUL.
fixed - sorry, I was on my way out the door and honestly, when I type stuff on GR, I rarely consider whether my punctuation, grammar etc is correct - writing for schoolwork is a whole other school
Hope this isn't too late, but I'd go with The Hiding Place.
