History vs biographies

Since a teenager, I enjoyed reading history books related to WWI and WWII as felt some stories helped me comprehend better what happened. Most importantly, I felt that reading them was my duty as to never forget what had happened so to not repeat it. Hence, it all started with a book assigned in History: All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque. I read it in French. Then follow many other books: If This Is A Man by Primo Levi, Night by Elie Wiesel, A Lucky Child by Thomas Buergenthal, Rosa Park: My Story, Number the Stars by Lois Lowry... these are some of my favorite books related to history.
