Could it be (I know the book is probably a bit over 8th grade in depth but I read it in jr high or highschool) "The Gulag Archipelago" by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. His books tended to have a religious flavor to them. This particular one was about time he spent in a concentration camp himself. Even if it's not the one she recommended I would recommend it as one you might find just as interesting.

Another book by the same author [Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn] is a possibility, named "One day in the life of Ivan Denisovich". It would fit your description.
