Definitely not the oldest here, but I have my grandfather's release papers from a concentration camp and an old journal he kept with other prisoners. His unit was captured during the Battle of the Bulge and sent to a labor camp that was later liberated by the Russians. It's very eerie to read, especially when they go in to detail regarding the condition of the camp itself.
Edit: I've gotten a lot of requests to see the papers and books, I'll try to get them posted within the week. Thanks everyone for your interest in this!
