The Book Thief, by Marcus Zusak, is not a Holocaust novel per se, but it has literary.
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, by John Boyne, has been criticized severely for its naïve portrayal of Auschwitz. The Morris Gleitzman series of Once, Then, Now is also written from a naïve perspective. My Mother's Secret, by J.L. Witterick, is based on a true story about hiding people during the Holocaust, and is age appropriate. I am reviewing (for the AJL Newsletter) a Cambridge University Press book entitled Literature of the Holocaust, edited by Alan Rosen. It is a survey of the literature as well as literary analysis and criticism.

All I have in my library is Elie Weisel. Can anyone recommend a) fiction suggestions which fit these criteria and b) a good source for holocaust literary criticism? Any guidance or ideas would be appreciated.
