Hello, Fellow Book Readers!
I haven’t done a review for some time! Imagine that!
The last book I read was the Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris
The Tattooist tells the story of Lali Sakolov, who would tattoo new arrivals at the Nazi camp with numbers on their wrist, and his eventual wife Gita Furman, who he met while retracing her numbers when she entered Auschwitz.
I was hesitant to read this book due to the subject matter, but was intrigued by the story being told from the perspective of the tattooist, Lale. It is based on his memories and experiences of being in the camp 60 years ago. I must say the book felt as if it skims the surface of the horrible events that constantly occurred in these camps, but maybe due to Lale’s “job”, he wasn’t as aware of the atrocities happening around the camp.
I give this book 3.5 stars out of 5.
I must share, the epilogue of the book would have made a great book too!
