X-Men: Magneto Testament is a five-issue limited series that details his life as a young Jew in Europe during World War II. This is a long three-year project by Greg Pak and Warren Simons. They intended to one present the young Magneto as how he would have lived in World War II Europe while staying true to history.

They said actors making Holocaust movies get the awards. I won't be surprised if the same becomes true for this limited series.

With this, we get a glimpse of how Magneto lived... and ultimately what made him Magneto as we know him today.

Btw, in each of the parts, I'll be including the actual captions regarding actual historical events taken verbatimly from the comics; no paraphrasing, no shortcuts. I decide it best to let history tell how some of the events turn out.

So here are the summaries for each issue:
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
Part 5
