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. (  ) courty4189 | Mar 24, 2021 | Unimpressed by this one. The characters are flat, the writing is amateurish and there are events which are not credible (the chances of Lale even having *heard of* penicillin in early 1943 are slim-to-zero) and this all leaves the book far less powerful than it cold have been. Very disappointing.

"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 library descriptions found. |

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.
