On 27th January 1945 the death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau was liberated and this date is used to remember all victims of the Holocaust and subsequent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur, and to honour the survivors of these atrocities.
There are many fiction books which have been set during the time of the Holocaust. We are probably most familiar with John Boyne's "The boy in the striped pyjamas" but there are many others available in the Library to try.
