X-Men: Magneto Testament by Greg Pak and Carmine Di Giandomenico consists of issues 1 through 5 of X-Men: Magneto Testament.
This miniseries tells the story of a young Magneto and his holocaust experience as a teenager. The comic doesn't really show any superpowers, hence the X-Men in the title can be deceiving. The story could very well be about any Jewish teenager growing up in World War II Germany.
The book is very sad, showing uncountable injustice and how a young men overcomes adversity. The art is great, transporting us to another time and making the surroundings seem real. The artist is great at showing facial expressions. He is also great at drawing very rich backgrounds.
This is a fantastic comic. I hope the X-Men in the title attracts more readers than it dissuades (unfortunately, I think having X-Men in the title would make many people not take this book seriously).
I highly recommend this comic.
