International Holocaust Memorial Day: Book List II

To commemorate the International Holocaust Memorial Day, January 27, CanLit for LittleCanadians has compiled a list of picture books, novels, young adult fiction, and non-fiction that focus on the victimization of millions of people during World War II.  This second book list includes only non-fiction related to the Holocaust.  As stated in the previous book list, let us support this very simple but profound intent:
