The #1 International Bestseller. 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 Tätowierer (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. The Tattooist of Auschwitz is a
testament to the endurance of love and humanity under the
darkest possible conditions.
Characters: 37. Amazon rating: 4 1/2 stars. Genre: Fiction.
