"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".

    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
