The only diary you will find during the events will be Anne Frank's diary. If you haven't read "Night" by Elie Wiesel, I highly recommend it because after this man was free from everything, he moved to France and promised himself he would not say a word of it for 10 years, and sure enough, after his 10 years were over he wrote a memior and it's very good! That could be considered a "diary" in a sort of way but written years after. Other than that, many survivors did not want to talk about it, and those that did you will only find in interviews or online magazines.

To the other answerers I would add Primo Levi, If this is a Man, which was an account of his stay in Auschwitz, and the diary of a man called Klemperer who was in Austria at the time, living a cat-and-mouse existence with the Nazis. He was due to be sent off to the camps but the bombing of Dresden saved him.

Yeah, The famous Anne-Frank.
You can google her.
And you can also go on google and put in
Journal Diary Holocaust
in the search engine and that should pull up mega results.

The death camp prisoners were not allowed to have pencils and paper; and as their health suffered from starvation and disease, their memories were also affected. Survivors of the holocaust often broke down into tears when asked to tell their experiences in the death camps, and begged interviewers not to press further. They would rather forget and wipe it from their memory, rather than relive the horrors of their experiences in their minds.
Some survivors never recovered mentally, they became insane from what they had experienced and witnessed at these death camps.

IF you are looking for what it was like on the outside, Anne Frank, for sure.
For "life" on the inside,
"Surviving Treblinka" by Samuel Willenberg.
"Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka..." by Yitzhak Arad
"The Holocaust:THe fate of European Jewery" by Leni Yahil
These three are all very good sources and I used them on a paper that I wrote in high school then used parts of for a paper in college. I got an A on both.
OF course, these are all real books that one has to go to the library for.
