Answer: C: The book is the most credible source because it tells the story of someone who lived during the Holocaust.

Explanation: If you always relied on someone who heard it from someone or somewhere else, it is possible that the story was altered a little or a lot. But if you get the information from someone who knew exactly what it was like, because they lived in the country where it was occurring, then the book is the more reliable source.
