Book Review: The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris

The Tattooist of Auschwitz The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A very compelling book, based on a true story of a young man who met his true love in the concentration camps of World War II. Lale is assigned to be a tattooist because of his knowledge of so many languages. They end up spending more than two years there but finally are able to escape and find each other. It's a difficult book to read but I wanted to be aware of the horrors that the individuals experienced and their massive loss of families and friends.
