Actually, Wiesel was in Buchenwald Concentration Camp...

..but if you don't need a specific camp, I fully believe the larger known ones, Auschwitz, Buchenwald, Bergen-Belsen, Ravensbruck....were very similar.

Another powerful book is The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom...she was in Ravensbruck.

"Another powerful book is The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom...she was in Ravensbruck."

I second that recommendation.

And if you want to read a moving tale about a young Polish girl of 17 who helped to hide people and kept them out of the camps in the first place read, "In My Hands" by Irene Opdyke.

I'll never forget that book. She's a true hero. :)

On the theme of if you do not need a specific camp, try reading this one - Dachau, 1933-1945: The Official History by Paul Berben. When stationed in Naples, Italy (77-79), I checked this out of the AFSOUTH Library and read it. You can only read a few pages at time before you have to put it down and shake the horrors out of your mind. A wife of one of the commandants would have men with colorful tattoos skinned and after trating the skin, would make a lampshade out of it. Guards would toss babies in the air and see how many times you could shot it before it hit the ground. This type of stuff still goes on today but the majority close thier eyes to it.
