Ever since learning about Auschwitz in school a few years ago i have had an interest in it and finding out more about it. This is a sad story about a real life event but its one of the books that will stay with me for a long time even now i have finished it.
Lale Sokolov tells his story based on true events. He became the main tattooist of Auschwitz and falls in love at first sight with Gita who he first met tattooing her arm. Lale, Even though he was a jew, did have some special privileges, since he was the tattoist. He had lots of freedom that the other prisoners did not have. He would exchange jewels and money from murdered Jews for food to keep others alive. If he was caught he would of been killed. Many prisoners owed him their survival. He was a leader among the other prisoners.
