"The Tattooist of Auschwitz" with author Heather Morris

In April 1942, Lale Sokolov, a Slovakian Jew, was forcibly transported to Auschwitz-Birkenau, where he was tasked with inking the arms of thousands of his fellow prisoners-including Gita, his future wife-with what would become an enduring symbol of the Holocaust. In her only New York City event, Heather Morris, the author of the international bestseller and #1 New York Times bestseller The Tattooist of Auschwitz, joined us for a discussion of the real-life Lale who inspired her debut novel.

I cannot put into words how this book moved me. It is incredible. What a brilliant, harrowing, emotional, scary story. I am so glad about Dana, relieved about Lale and Gita, and grieving for those lost. thank you for sharing their story. It must never be forgotten ❤

You should read "The accountant of Auschwitz" and "The librarian of Auschwitz".

I have nightmares but can not stop reading your books. :-( My heart bleeds for all the poor souls that were affected . I cant believe we still have war like the situation on the Ukraine right now :-(

another word is jeep, they didnt exist either on that side of Germany. To my knowledge, the nazis stopped tattooing from spring 1944. That doesn't really match with the book , I believe

Jeeps were provided to USSR during the war under land lease agreement.
