An extraordinary story of love, survival, and hope in the darkest place on Earth.

Lale Sokolov is a Slovakian Jew forced into the notorious Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. When his captors discover he speaks multiple languages, he is given a devastating job: Tätowierier—the tattooist. Forced to permanently ink the skin of his fellow prisoners, Lale uses his microscopic bit of freedom to exchange stolen jewels for food to keep others alive.

Then, he meets Gita.

While tattooing her arm, he looks into her eyes, and in that single moment, he vows to survive the camp and marry her. Based on the powerful true story of Lale and Gita Sokolov, this novel is a unforgettable testament to the endurance of love in the face of absolute horror.
