Monday marked the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz –Birkenau concentration camp. We have gathered books, documentaries and movies that portray life within the concentration camps. These stories are told from survivors and historians with some fiction books as well. We encourage anyone who is interested in learning more about the Holocaust please check out the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
