About this ebook
Lale Sokolov was 26 when the Nazis came to his hometown in Slovakia to take the men away. When he arrived at Auschwitz, he was given the identity number 32407. A fellow prisoner, a French man named Pepan, took care of him and eventually made him his assistant as a tattooer, or a tetovierer. Eventually, he was assigned as the head tattooist in the camp due to his knowledge of many languages. He met a young girl, the 18-year old Gita, whose arm he tattooed as she braved the pain. Her tattoo number was 34902. He fell in love with her that day. Despite the harrowing conditions, Lale believed that he would survive prison camp. Gita, however, was less hopeful. Will Lale and Gita survive Auschwitz?
The Tattooist of Auschwitz will soon be an international drama series, with the British Synchronicity Films as producer. The film version is targeted to be released in January 2020 in time for the 75th anniversary of the Auschwitz liberation.

Introducing The Tattooist of Auschwitz
The Tattooist of Auschwitz is a debut novel written by Heather Morris based on the real-life story of a Jewish Slovak who fell in love with a fellow prisoner while held captive in the Nazi death camp of Auschwitz during World War II. It is hailed as a story of survival, love, and hope.
Lale Sokolov was 26 when the Nazis came to his hometown in Slovakia to take the men away. Lale willingly offered himself to go with the Nazis hoping that his family will be spared. He had no idea of what awaited him. When he arrived at the camp, he was given the identity number 32407. Under Nazi orders, he worked constructing houses until he contracted typhoid. A fellow prisoner, a French man named Pepan, took care of him and eventually made him his assistant as a tattooer, or a tetovierer. Pepan taught him how to tattoo numbers on the prisoners and how to avoid getting into trouble with the Nazi soldiers. Lale learned how to keep his head down and stay quiet.
