I've enjoyed (if that's the right word) skimming this video - a lengthy interview of an Auschwitz survivor, with focus on her loving family and their intolerable losses of each other.

I couldn't help wishing, though, that I could have instead accessed a transcription of this very long narrative. Being already familiar with countless versions of this historic tragedy it would have enriched my understanding without redundancy.

I haven't read it yet, but her book The Choice might be something you'd be interested in.
