#3 - We are Witnesses: Five Diaries of Teenagers who Died in the Holocaust

In this book, Jacob Boas guides you through excerpts of five young Jewish diarists from all over Europe, each of whom suffered death at the hands of the Nazis. These diarists, including Anne Frank, write on the mundane and the philosophical. My complaint about this book is that Boas' narrations dumb down and detract from the diaries. If you can, get your hands on the full diaries, and read them instead.
