The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris

A Triumph of the Human Spirit

This is an insider’s story of survival during the Holocaust.  Lale Sokolov, a Slovakian Jew becomes the tattooist of the infamous death camp, Auschwitz. It is he who marks his fellow Jews with the green-tinted numbers that identify them to the Nazi as something less than human. He spends three years living the worst nightmare imaginable, but finds friendship, hope and love. 

This incredible story exposes the evil of mankind but also best that men and women can be. Selfish sacrifice, ingenuity, and a real desire to survive push these average people to band together for the good of all.

Aided by three years of interviews, the author pulls the full story from Lale and shares it with the world so that his story and the reality of the Holocaust can never be forgotten.
