Татуировщик из Освенцима

Ludwig (Lale) Sokolov arrives at Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1942 with other Slovak Jews. He speaks several languages, which helps him secure work tattooing prisoners. He must mark new arrivals with numbers at a rapid pace. The job gives him a small room and better food. It also lets him move more freely within the camp.

In July 1942, Lale, prisoner 32407, tattoos Gita with number 34902. They fall in love while facing the threat of death each day. His role offers no shield from the SS guards’ cruelty. He risks his life to help other prisoners, including Gita and her friends. The couple hold to their hope of surviving and sharing a future.

This novel by Хезер Моррис draws on real events in Sokolov’s life. It explores love, courage, and the will to live under brutal conditions.
