About this product

Product Information

#1 New York Times Bestseller and #1 International Bestseller This beautiful, illuminating tale of hope and courage is based on interviews that were conducted with Holocaust survivor and Auschwitz-Birkenau tattooist Ludwig (Lale) Sokolov--an unforgettable love story in the midst of atrocity. " The Tattooist of Auschwitz is an extraordinary document, a story about the extremes of human behavior existing side by side: calculated brutality alongside impulsive and selfless acts of love. I find it hard to imagine anyone who would not be drawn in, confronted and moved. I would recommend it unreservedly to anyone, whether they'd read a hundred Holocaust stories or none."--Graeme Simsion, internationally-bestselling author of The Rosie Project In April 1942, Lale Sokolov, a Slovakian Jew, is forcibly transported to the concentration camps at Auschwitz-Birkenau. When his captors discover that he speaks several languages, he is put to work as a T towierer (the German word for tattooist), tasked with permanently marking his fellow prisoners. Imprisoned for over two and a half years, Lale witnesses horrific atrocities and barbarism--but also incredible acts of bravery and compassion. Risking his own life, he uses his privileged position to exchange jewels and money from murdered Jews for food to keep his fellow prisoners alive. One day in July 1942, Lale, prisoner 32407, comforts a trembling young woman waiting in line to have the number 34902 tattooed onto her arm. Her name is Gita, and in that first encounter, Lale vows to somehow survive the camp and marry her. A vivid, harrowing, and ultimately hopeful re-creation of Lale Sokolov's experiences as the man who tattooed the arms of thousands of prisoners with what would become one of the most potent symbols of the Holocaust, The Tattooist of Auschwitz is also a testament to the endurance of love and humanity under the darkest possible conditions.

Reviews
"Based on a true story, the wrenching yet riveting tale of Lale's determination to survive the camp with Gita is a moving testament to the power of kindness, ingenuity, and hope." -- People "Like the Nobel Prize-winning author Elie Wiesel's Night, Morris' work takes us inside the day-to-day workings of the most notorious German death camp. Over the course of three years, Morris interviewed Lale, teasing out his memories and weaving them into her heart-rending narrative of a Jew whose unlikely forced occupation as a tattooist put him in a position to act with kindness and humanity in a place where both were nearly extinct." -- BookPage "The Tattooist of Auschwitz is the story of hope and survival against incredible odds and the power of love." -- Popsugar "The Tattooist of Auschwitz is an extraordinary document. I find it hard to imagine anyone who would not be drawn in, confronted and moved. I would recommend it unreservedly to anyone, whether they'd read a hundred Holocaust stories or none." -- Graeme Simsion, internationally-bestselling author of The Rosie Project "What an extraordinary and important book this is. We need as many memories of the Holocaust as we can retain, and this is a moving and ultimately uplifting story of love, loyalties and friendship amidst the horrors of war." -- International bestseller Jill Mansell "As many interviews as I did with Holocaust survivors for the Shoah Foundation and as many devastating testimonies as I heard, I could not stop reading The Tattooist of Auschwitz--an extraordinary story of love so fierce it sustained people enduring the unimaginable. Read it, share it, remember it." -- Jenna Blum, New York Times and international bestselling author of Those Who Save Us and The Lost Family "To many, this book will be most appreciated for its powerful evocation of the everyday horrors of life as a prisoner in a concentration camp, while others will be heartened by the novel's message of how true love can transcend even the most hellishly inhuman environments. This is a perfect novel for book clubs and readers of historical fiction." -- Publishers Weekly "This is a powerful, gut-wrenching tale that is hard to shake off." -- Kirkus Reviews "Although one might suspect that there's far more to his past than is revealed here, much of Lale's story's complexity makes it onto the page. And even though it's clear that Lale will survive, Morris imbues the novel with remarkable suspense." -- Booklist, Like the Nobel Prize-winning author Elie Wiesel's Night, Morris' work takes us inside the day-to-day workings of the most notorious German death camp.

    Fantastic read!!

    This book tells the true story of two people in a hopeless situation that find hope and love. They manage to survive amazingly against the odds and have a full life together. I throughly enjoyed reading this book, it brought me on a rollercoaster of emotions as I took care of Holicost survivors. It brought back memories of stories they had told me of their own survival and made me remember what amazing things ordinary people can do! I loved reading this book!!

    if your looking for a love story this might be right up your alley

    the book was written with "flare" by a professional writer , i feel this is of a serious subject matter and i'm looking for cold hard facts , not something that is partially made up to attempt to make me feel good . just not my taste however several people have raved about this book so i leave it up to you . its inexpensive so its hard to complain about it

    Highly recommended

    Not an upbeat subject, but the author's finesse in telling this story drew me in completely. Despite the despicable treatment the prisoners experienced, the sense of love and humanity came through very clearly. Lale Sokolov was a remarkable man: smart, brave, and strong, yet soft enough to fall completely in (everlasting) love during the harshest of times.

    Just read it /you won’t regret it.

    So to Be honest I am Not quite done reading but I can already tell you I plowed through this/could Not put it down and when I did put it down (because there are things you need to do in life other than read) it was on my mind. I have even been dreaming about the characters in this book. I have read many, many books from this era/subject matter but this one will remain in my heart.
