Last year Heidi Rabinowitz and Chava Pinchuk put together this comprehensive list of all Holocaust titles recognized by the Sydney Taylor Book Award Committee. It is available in the AJL Bibliography Bank: http://databases.jewishlibraries.org/sites/default/files/bibliography-bank/stba_holocaust_books_0.pdf
My personal recommendations to you would be White Bird by RJ Palacio, the 2020 Sydney Taylor Award Winner. I would also recommend My Chocolate Year, Yellow Star, The Journey that Saved Curious George, Hana’s Suitcase, and When the Soldiers Were Gone since they are all shorter than typical middle grade novels. You might also want to look at the short story collection Mara’s Stories by Gary Schmidt. Good luck!
