Oh, another recommendation just came to mine. One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. It documents....one day in the life.... of a prisoner in a Siberian gulag. It's pretty compact, I think I read it one sitting. I remember liking it a lot.
Can anyone recommend a good holocaust survivor or similar book. Doesn’t have to be holocaust though.
My wife needs a book for holiday and she finds these types of books really interesting.
