A story about a Lale, a Jew surviving the horrors of Auschwitz by becoming a tattooist. He is kind and helps others. The story talks about his survival and the connections he forms.
What I liked about the book:
- So meaningful and an important story to tell
- Well written
- Very descriptive and I felt privileged to hear Lale's story
- I really enjoyed the authors note at the end - added alot to the story
What I didn't like:
- Would have liked a little more background information to Lale growing up and his family relationships.

Tarina oli hyvä, mutta kirjoitustyyli varsin lattea ja käännös suorastaan kehno. Monissa kohdissa englannin lauserakenteet ja ilmaisut kuulsivat tekstistä läpi ja häiritsivät lukukokemusta.

I just closed this book and, with tears in my eyes, all I can think is “Wow.” This is such an emotional and heartbreaking read, but also so beautiful, uplifting, and important. Based on a true story, and originally written as a screenplay, this is definitely a story worth telling and worth reading. I don’t want to give any spoilers, but I will say it was very difficult but also very amazing to unfold Lale and Gita’s story. The wonderful writing, the photos and map, the afterword and acknowledgements… everything works together to tell this difficult but important story. I recently found out that they made it into a TV series, so I look forward to watching that also. I highly recommend this book and will be thinking about it for a long time. I give it five stacks of books about the Holocaust and that horrible, dark period of world history, written so that, in Lale’s own words, “it would never happen again.” 📚📚📚📚📚
Some stories you just have to read in a day. woof. “Least we forget!”
Such a beautiful and horrific story. I wish it hadn’t ended so soon. I would’ve loved more detail about their life after the war. Definitely inspired me to read some more historical fiction!
