Goodreads beskrivning
The incredible story of the Auschwitz-Birkenau tattooist and the woman he loved.
Lale Sokolov is well-dressed, a charmer, a ladies’ man. He is also a Jew. On the first transport from Slovakia to Auschwitz in 1942, Lale immediately stands out to his fellow prisoners. In the camp, he is looked up to, looked out for, and put to work in the privileged position of Tätowierer– the tattooist – to mark his fellow prisoners, forever. One of them is a young woman, Gita, who steals his heart at first glance.
His life given new purpose, Lale does his best through the struggle and suffering to use his position for good.
This story, full of beauty and hope, is based on years of interviews author Heather Morris conducted with real-life Holocaust survivor and Auschwitz-Birkenau tattooist Ludwig (Lale) Sokolov. It is heart-wrenching, illuminating, and unforgettable.

Mina åsikter
Det här var en oerhört tuff historia att läsa, men det fanns samtidigt ett flertal fina ljusglimtar. Vem trodde att någon kunde hitta kärleken på en så hemsk plats som Auschwitz? Jag gillade huvudkaraktärerna väldigt mycket! Boken var dessutom väldigt välskriven och det som gjorde boken så bra var det faktum att Morris varierar "mörka händelser" och hopplösheten med hoppet om frihet och kärlek. Som läsare får man också reda på hur Lale hjälpte så många människor som hade det lika svårt som han själv. Och det hemska är att boken är baserad på verkliga människor och verkliga händelser.
