World War II and the Jewish extermination remain topics of huge interest across several genres. There are the classic historical records, drawn from nonfiction like Anne Frank’s “Diary of a Young Girl,” and psychotherapist and Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl’s “Man’s Search for Meaning” and Corrie Ten Boom’s memoir, “The Hiding Place.” Fictional works such as Joseph Heller’s satirical “Catch 22” also stirred readers.
