Best concentration camp / Holocaust literature?

Ultimately Levi is the 'best' (if there can be such a thing, I'd prefer 'recommended'). An intelligent & incredibly imaginative & eloquent man in horrific circumstances. I also recommend his 'The Drowned & the Saved'.

Mind yourself on all that edge, pleb.

>>7821326
I remember Zizek talking about this one. Will give it a go

>>7821326

Because Jews were and still are highly educated. Which is why they write books and are cared about by people who write books.

This. There's fuck all Indian literature and if there is it's probably some sjw anti colonialism shit.

The drowned and the saved is very good. I would also recommend The Truce by Levi, even as it deals with the period after Auschwitz.

Levi is tops in this department, plus he's insanely /lit/ mostly due to the Odyssey-referencing chapter

also "If This Is a Man" is such a better title than "Survival in Auschwitz" what was the American publisher thinking

Kolyma Tales

'Fatelessness'
Robert Antelme's 'The Human Race'

Nikolaus Wachsmann's 'KL' for history

It's a satirical tragedy. This is one book that presents a real challenge to any translator.
The LT language has a construction that allows any word to be made "cuter" or "smaller", like the german "Haus" and "Häuschen" or the spanish "cerveza" and "cervecita". The english language has no good equivalent to this construction and without it a lot of ironic ideas are lost...

And so it's right to assume that this is captured in the german/french translations of the book?

what was the post that was deleted lads? I won't stand for antisemitism

>>7822285
I guess so. Haven't read a translation of it.
Of course there is cultural context, but that is another problem

>>7822321

Yeah, I know german so I might check it out. Thanks.

"Did 6 million really die?" by Ernest Zundel

>>7821638
money and overall business, that's all
not being ironic here.

Not really concentration camp literature, but The Kindly Ones by Jonathan Littell blew me the fuck away. It's almost 1000 pages, but it's definitely one of the books that I still think about every now and then (read it more than 5 years ago).

Great collection of short stories. Picked it up in a gift shop when I visited Dachau.
