Entries describe and review more than 100 core works, and give information about their authors. Histories, biographies, diaries, etc., form two-thirds of the list, while the rest consists of literary fiction, poetry, and drama. Well-known authors such as Elie Wiesel, Anne Frank, Aharon Appelfeld, and Primo Levi are included, but it is the representation of a wide variety of other writers and more recent works that make the volumes outstanding.
