Diary of Anne Frank should be mandatory reading and is worth reading multiple times at different stages of one's life. Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl is also up there.

Mandatory isn't quite the same thing as "sometimes assigned in class"

Which version would you recommend?

I'm not sure which is considered the best but these are the ones I've read:

Diary of Anne Frank
