Disclaimer: Some of these books are not totally focused on the holocaust, like the ones about the explosion of Chernobyl and the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

“Books that will inspire you” is a broad category, so I’ll explain a little bit about what I mean. Books that inspire you, at least as I think of them, are books that make you think in a different way, that inspire you to make the world a better place, or show you how others…
