Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl is about his experiences in the death camps and his observations that those prisoners who were able to find meaning in life were the ones that survived. Even if the reason was small and insignificant.

Thanks to My Mother by Schoschana Rabinovici
Five Chimneys by Olga Lengyel
Anne Frank’s stepsister (her mother married Otto Frank after the war) also wrote a memoir and I can’t remember her name right now
ETA: Eva Schloss is her name. And Miep Gies also wrote about hiding the Frank family during the war and she’s another very brave woman you might like to read about.
