The Tattooist of Auschwitz is a story of two ordinary people, living in an extraordinary time, deprived not only of their freedom but their dignity, their names, and their identities, and it is Lale’s account of what they needed to do to survive. A story that would bring tears to one's eye. Hats off the Heather Morris for such a heart touching story. A must read for every book lover. caru_dcruz | Apr 21, 2021 | Somewhere between 3.8-4.1 stars. Interesting story, but not much character development. When I learned the author typically wrote screen plays that made more sense as the over arching story was well done, but specific details about the people, particularly Gita were almost non existent. (  ) curious_squid | Apr 5, 2021 | True story but felt too good to be true. It shared a sense of optimism while the tattooist from Slovakia observatory, charmed and succeeded is surviving more than two years in Auschwitze and Birkenau plus falling in love. ( ) bblum | Mar 27, 2021 | This was really good, but I didn't entirely enjoy the writing style so couldn't quite give it a full 5 stars.

"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 more than 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"--Dust jacket flap. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

For some, it may be hard to justify reading several WWII novels. You might think, what will this novel tell me that the other dozen haven’t? The one thing that this novel shed light upon, that others rarely do, are the difficult positions some had to take in the prison camps. For instance, Lale takes up a job as the Tätowierer, someone who is forced to mark and defile his fellow prisoners - a job unimaginable to most. Others are forced to take up other repulsive jobs that put them closer to the S.S. than they do to the other prisoners. This book shows the internal struggle these individuals face because of their jobs within the camps. But also how they go out of their way and risk their lives to provide assistance to those with less authority. It’s remarkable and something I never considered while reading other WWII/Holocaust novels. (
