Brief Description
'The Tattooist Of Auschwitz' is telling the story of real-life Holocaust survivor, Lale Sokolov.
The book tells his story about when he was on the train to the concentration camp, when he entered the camp, how he became the tattooist, the story of his love life plus many more memorable moments from being a prisoner, whether those memories were good or bad. The book also tells some parts of the story from Gita's point of view. Gita was a female prisoner Lale loved deeply.

My Review
'The Tattooist Of Auschwitz' is the most heart-touching story I have ever read. To honestly believe these events were real, Lale's story was mind-blowing. It was amazing. Lale was definitely a lucky survivor, and I'm glad I was able to read his story. It's just heart-breaking to know what the world's history was. If you want a fabulous read which you will remember, I recommend, 'The Tattooist Of Auschwitz.' I don't want to give any details away, as I want the readers to experience the story themselves.


Overall Rating
My overall rating for the 'Tattooist Of Auschwitz' is ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'The Tattooist Of Auschwitz' is an emotionally powerful story about fighting for survival, freedom and love.

Thank you all so much for taking the time to read my book review.
