When you read war stories, especially those about the Holocaust, you cannot help but feel pain and heartache. You're in a state of shock. This is especially relevant when we look at what's happening in our world today, decades since the Holocaust and still we see a reflection of the past — wars, death, genocide and destruction.
Reading The Tattooist of Auschwitz, you feel a mix of emotions when you see the world through Lale and Gita's eyes. Amidst fear and dread, there is hope. Following the day-to-day routine of Lale and the developments during his time at the concentration camps, you see the acts of kindness that highlight the signs humanity amidst an inhumane treatment. Morris' writing is simple and I love that about this book because it focuses on the recollections of Lale and his gripping and powerful story as he falls in love with Gita.
