I recently read some new books that directly or indirectly discuss the Holocaust. All of them are worth reading. In different ways they open our eyes to how heinous humans can be, and they lead us to pray with John, “Come, Lord Jesus!” (Rev 22:20).
My favorites = books 5 and 6.
1. Neal Bascomb. Hunting Eichmann: How a Band of Survivors and a Young Spy Agency Chased Down the World’s Most Notorious Nazi. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2009. Intriguing story. Excessively detailed. Would make a good modern movie.
2. George W. Bush. Decision Points. New York: Crown, 2010. Fascinating account of Bush’s life and presidency. Discusses the Middle East political quagmire, including Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s denial of the Holocaust.
3. Paul Johnson. Churchill. New York: Penguin, 2010. Swashbuckling. Cf. my previous posts.
4. Ben Macintyre. Operation Mincemeat: How a Dead Man and a Bizarre Plan Fooled the Nazis and Assured an Allied Victory. New York: Crown, 2010. Not as thrilling as I thought it’d be. Excessively detailed. Second half is much better than first half. Suggestion: Read Malcolm Gladwell’s “Pandoras Briefcase” instead.
5. Eric Metaxas. Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy. Nashville: Nelson, 2010. Gripping, inspiring story. Filled with theological insights.
6. J. K. Rowling. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Vol. 7 of Harry Potter. 7 vols. New York: Levine, 2007. The Ministry of Magic : Lord Voldemort and non-pure-bloods (esp. Muggles) :: “The Ministry” of the Third Reich : Satan/Adolf Hitler and non-Arians (esp. Jews). (Jenni and I enjoyed listening to this audiobook again.)
7. Carl R. Trueman. Histories and Fallacies: Problems Faced in the Writing of History. Wheaton: Crossway, 2010. 
Proves why Holocaust Denial is nonsense by distinguishing between neutrality (which is “practically impossible” and “logically inconceivable”) and objectivity (pp. 17–21, 25–68; cf. “Example Two: Was Luther a Racist?” pp. 129–38).
Andy, I found it interesting that you included Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in your list. I had the same feeling when I read it last year. It made me think of what Nazi-occupied Europe must have been like.
If anyone is interested in historical fiction, “The Zion Chronicles” and “The Zion Covenant” are two series depicting the struggle of the Jews to survive and become a nation in the 1930s and 1940s. The books are by Bodie Thoene and were inspired by her talks with a Jewish lady who survived the Holocaust. Excellent reading.
Along the same lines, this is a great book.
Andy, you might also enjoy Anthony Cave Brown’s A Bodyguard of Lies. It’s a history of espionage during WWII. The title is drawn from a Churchill quote, “In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.”
