Night by Eli Wiesel. Here is Amazon's writeup: In Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel's memoir Night, a scholarly, pious teenager is wracked with guilt at having survived the horror of the Holocaust and the genocidal campaign that consumed his family. His memories of the nightmare world of the death camps present him with an intolerable question: how can the God he once so fervently believed in have allowed these monstrous events to occur? There are no easy answers in this harrowing book, which probes life's essential riddles with the lucid anguish only great literature achieves. It marks the crucial first step in Wiesel's lifelong project to bear witness for those who died.

Number the Stars by Lois Lowery is a great book, not very thick, easy read. It is set in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1943 during the Nazi occupation of Denmark. It is an awesome book!

As in the early twentieth century?
Then I reccomend the Grapes of Wrath and/or Of Mice and Men
And Maybe Ulysses?

I believe A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray is set in that time period. Either that or it's in the late 1800's. It's still a really good book, so if it isn't in the right time period, you should still read it.
