This emotional book is a powerful story of love and human survival despite shocking circumstances

Based on the true story of Lale Sokolov a Slovakian Jew who was taken to Auschwitz concentration camp. Surrounded by death and other horrors Lale makes a decision that he will survive and that he will leave the camp alive one day. To aid in his survival he takes the job of tattooist and is faced with tattooing the numbers on to the arms of the terrified prisoners as they arrive. One day in front of him is a young lady awaiting her tattooed number and it is love at first sight. Amidst the terrible surroundings and odd snatched moments of time together their love blooms, and they know they want to spend the rest of their lives together.

This is a great book and I would recommend anyone to read it, if you liked the boy in the striped pyjamas you will enjoy this.
