"Gliwice (Gleiwitz)" as a book category denotes works whose primary focus is the city of Gliwice (historically Gleiwitz) and its surrounding Upper Silesian region: its urban and industrial history (mining, steelworks, transport), architectural and landscape changes, and the shifting ethnic, linguistic and political identities caused by border changes between Germany and Poland. It includes scholarly histories, local monographs, memoirs and oral histories, genealogical studies, wartime literature and analysis (including the 1939 Gleiwitz incident and wartime/postwar population transfers), guidebooks and photo/coffee-table volumes, as well as fiction and crime novels that use the city as setting or character. Such a category attracts historians, regional specialists, descendants of former residents, travelers and readers interested in Silesian culture, memory studies, and borderland urban experience.

1. A Noite by Elie Wiesel
Relato autobiográfico de um jovem judeu deportado com a família aos campos de extermínio durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial; descreve a rotina de violência e humilhação em Auschwitz e Buchenwald, a transformação interior marcada pela perda da fé e da inocência, a agonizante luta pela sobrevivência e a destruição dos laços familiares — sobretudo a com o pai — e a necessidade de testemunhar para não esquecer as atrocidades cometidas.
