Volume 1: Nazi Germany and the Jews: the Years of Persecution

http://www.amazon.com/Nazi-Germany-Jews-Persecution-1933-1939/dp/0060928786/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1339371950&sr=8-2

Volume 2: The Years of Extermination

http://www.amazon.com/The-Years-Extermination-Germany-1939-1945/dp/0060930489/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1339371950&sr=8-1

Absolute must-reads. Comprehensive, compelling and horrifying. Read these books and you will understand the Holocaust better than about 99% of the population.

I don't need to praise these books any further. The Amazon reviews speak for themselves.
