Based on the true events of Ludwig (Lale) Sokolow's life, Heather Morris's novel is a testament to the human spirit and the power of love to flourish even in the darkest of places. And it's hard to imagine a darker place than the Auschwitz/Birkenau concentration camp. In 1942, Lale, like other Slovak Jews, is sent to Auschwitz. Once there, thanks to the fact that he speaks several languages, he gets a job as a tattoo artist and, at a terrifying rate, puts on the numbers of new prisoners, and for this he receives some privileges: a separate cell, slightly better food and relative freedom of movement around the camp. One day in July 1942, Lale, prisoner 32407, applies the number 34902 to the arm of a trembling young woman. Her name is Gita. Despite their dire situation, despite the fact that every day could be their last, they fall in love and believe against all odds that they will be able to survive these inhumane conditions. And although Lale's position as a tattoo artist is relatively better than the rest of the prisoners, it does not protect him from the cruelty of the SS. Time and again he risks his life to help his fellow inmates and especially Gita and her friends. Despite the constant threat of death, Lale and Gita never stop believing in the future. And in that future, they are sure to live together happily ever after....
