Myself, I was REALLY into the O.J. Simpson case. It was the first big trial to be televised, and people were hooked. It's all anyone talked about. Our cafeteria was unusally quiet as students watched while eating or resting between classes. The case ended up being stranger than any fiction one could write. Marcia Clark's book was my absolute favorite. Being the head prosecutor, she really had the knowledge, ability, and drive to get the whole truth out there. I read no less than 5 books on this crime.
That being said, the Holocaust is way ahead of the pack. Between the fact that I am of Jewish heritage, the enormity of the whole operation, Anne Frank's ability to give the tragedy a face, the role of fear in people's lives, and how that fear can so easily be manipulated. Sad beyond belief.

There were multiple accounts of torture during the Holocaust. (Since you said Holocaust not WWII, I'll stick to the genocide of the Jewish people rather than the entire WWII) There was starvation, abnormal and useless medical experiments, the rolls calls that lasted forever, standing cells in which the person was sentenced to hard labor during the day and was forced to stand at night. These are a few examples.
