The Tattooist of Auschwitz is based on the true story of Lale and Gita Sokolov, two Slovakian Jews, who survived Auschwitz and eventually made their home in Australia. In that terrible place, Lale was given the job of tattooing the prisoners marked for survival literally scratching numbers into his fellow victims'' arms in indelible ink to create what would become one of the most potent symbols of the Holocaust. Lale used the infinitesimal freedom of movement that this position awarded him to exchange jewels and money taken from murdered Jews for food to keep others alive. If he had been caught he would have been killed; many owed him their survival.There have been many books about the Holocaust and there will be many more. What makes this one so memorable is Lale Sokolov''s incredible zest for life. He understood exactly what was in store for him and his fellow prisoners and he was determined to survive not just to survive, but to leave the camp with his dignity and integrity intact, to live his life to the full. Terrible though this story is, it is also a story of hope and of courage. It is also almost unbelievably a love story. Waiting in line to be tattooed, terrified and shaking, was a young girl. For Lale a dandy, a jack-the-lad, a bit of a chancer it was love at first sight and he determined not only to survive himself, but to ensure that Gita did, too. His story their story will make you weep, but you will also find it uplifting. It shows the very best of humanity in the very worst of circumstances.Like many survivors, Lale and Gita told few people their story after the war. They eventually made their way to Australia, where they raised a son and had a successful life. But when Gita died, Lale felt he could no longer carry the burden of their past alone. He chose to tell his story.

For readers of Schindler's List, The Man Who Broke into Auschwitz and The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas comes a heart-breaking story of the very best of humanity in the very worst of circumstances.I tattooed a number on her arm. She tattooed her name on my heart. In 1942, Lale Sokolov arrived in Auschwitz-Birkenau. He was given the job of tattooing the prisoners marked for survival - scratching numbers into his fellow victims' arms in indelible ink to create what would become one of the most potent symbols of the Holocaust. Waiting in line to be tattooed, terrified and shaking, was a young girl. For Lale - a dandy, a jack-the-lad, a bit of a chancer - it was love at first sight. And he was determined not only to survive himself, but to ensure this woman, Gita, did, too.So begins one of the most life-affirming, courageous, unforgettable and human stories of the Holocaust: the love story of the tattooist of Auschwitz.-----'Extraordinary - moving, confronting and uplifting . . . I recommend it unreservedly' Greame Simsion'A moving and ultimately uplifting story of love, loyalties and friendship amidst the horrors of war . . . It's a triumph.' Jill Mansell

Hay numerosos libros sobre el Holocausto, pero ninguno como este. Se basa en una increíble historia real detrás de uno de sus símbolos más potentes: los números azules tatuados en los brazos de los prisioneros de los campos de concentracion. Cuando a Lale Sokolov le fue encomendada la tarea de tatuar los numeros en las victimas que como el eran encerradas en Auschwitz, uso la minima libertad que su rol le permitia para intercambiar joyas y dinero de judios asesinados por comida para ayudar a otros a sobrevivir. De ser atrapado, lo habrian matado al instante. Lale se propuso vivir una vida tan plena como le fuera posible dentro de esas terribles circunstancias. Una mañana, en la fila de prisioneros que esperaban para ser tatuados, una joven temblorosa llamo su atencion. Para el fue amor a primera vista y se juro que, si lograba salir del campo, la buscaria hasta encontrarla. Durante cuatro años, Heather Morris entrevisto a un anciano Lale Sokolov. Apoyandose en sus encuentros y en abundantes documentos pero con la potencia de la mejor de las ficciones, El tatuador de Auschwitz narra esos hechos que permanecieron casi desconocidos durante mas de setenta años. Por tragico que sea el relato, es un llamado a la esperanza y al coraje. Y, sobre todo, una inolvidable historia de amor y supervivencia.

A viagem de Cilka é baseado na história real de Cilka Klein e na de tantas outras mulheres presas nos campos de concentração nazistas e, após o fim da Segunda Guerra Mundial, nos gulagui russos. Ness

RESUMEN

The phenomenal new novel, based on a true story, from the multimillion-copy bestselling author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, Cilka's Journey and Three Sisters.1942. Singapore is falling to the Japanese Army. English musician Norah Chambers places her eight-year-old daughter Sally on a ship leaving Singapore, desperate to keep her safe. As the island burns, Australian nurse Nesta James joins the terrified cargo of people, including the heartbroken Norah, crammed aboard the HMS Vyner Brooke. After only two days at sea, the ship is bombarded and sunk.Nesta and Norah reach the beaches of Indonesia only to be captured and held in one of the notorious Japanese POW camps, places of starvation and brutality. But even here joy can be found, in music, where Norah's 'voice orchestra' transports the internees from squalor into light. The friendships they build with the dozens of other women in the camps will give them the hope, strength and camaraderie they need in order to stay alive.

1942. Quando Lale Sokolov varca i cancelli di Auschwitz-Birkenau, gli viene affidato il compito di tatuare i prigionieri. Davanti a lui, in fila, terrorizzata e scossa dai brividi, c''e una ragazza: Gita. Ho tatuato un numero sul suo braccio. Lei ha tatuato il suo nome sul mio cuore. Inizia cosi uno dei racconti piu coinvolgenti, coraggiosi e memorabili sull''Olocausto: la storia d''amore del Tatuatore di Auschwitz. Il cielo di un grigio anonimo incombe sulla fila di donne. Da quel momento non saranno piu donne, saranno solo una sequenza inanimata di numeri tatuati sul braccio. Ad Auschwitz, e Lale a essere incaricato di quell''orrendo compito: proprio lui, un ebreo come loro. Giorno dopo giorno, Lale lavora a testa bassa per non vedere un dolore cosi simile al suo finche una volta alza lo sguardo, per un solo istante: e allora che incrocia due occhi che in quel mondo senza colori nascondono un intero arcobaleno. Il suo nome e Gita. Un nome che Lale non potra piu dimenticare. Perche Gita diventa la sua luce in quel buio infinito: racconta poco di lei, come se non essendoci un futuro non avesse senso nemmeno un passato, ma sono le emozioni a parlare per loro. Sono i piccoli momenti rubati a quella assurda quotidianita ad avvicinarli. Dove sono rinchiusi non c''e posto per l''amore. Dove si combatte per un pezzo di pane e per salvare la propria vita, l''amore e un sogno ormai dimenticato.
