The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris
The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris is the incredible story of the Auschwitz-Birkenau tattooist and the woman he loved.
Lale Sokolov is a charmer and a ladies’ man. He is also a Jew. Lale immediately stands out to his fellow prisoners. In the camp, he is looked up to, looked out for, and put to work in the privileged position of Tätowierer – the tattooist – to mark his fellow prisoners, forever. One of them is a young woman, Gita, who steals his heart at first glance.
His life given new purpose, Lale does his best through the struggle and suffering to use his position for good.
Full of beauty and hope, this story is based on years of interviews author Heather Morris conducted with real-life Holocaust survivor and Auschwitz- Birkenau tattooist Ludwig (Lale) Sokolov. It is heart-wrenching, illuminating, and unforgettable.
