Request for any info:

I'm looking for Holocaust novels for an essay. The books have to be:

a) fiction, no survivor testemonies.
b) set in a concentration camp, or have a significant part take place in a concentration camp.
c) involve characters who have a direct involvement in said concentration camp (no Boy in the Stripes Pyjamas, for example).

The ones I've got so far are Village of a Million Spirits' and 'Fateless', with 'This Way to the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen' as a maybe. Unfortunately, I don't think AIoM would be allowed, despite filling out the criteria :)

Any ideas, people?

Well, I've got issues with The Devil's Arithmetic, by Jane Yolen, but I believe it fits your criteria. (The main character spends a lot of the story as a concentration camp prisoner, which I assume fits qualification "c"?)
