Based on the true life of Ludwig (Lale) Sokolov, Heather Morris' novel is a testament to the human spirit and the power of love to blossom 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, was sent to Auschwitz. Once there, thanks to the fact that he speaks several languages, he gets a job as a tattoo artist and fills the numbers with new prisoners at a terrifying speed, and for this he receives some privileges: a separate closet, a little better food and relative freedom of movement around the camp. One day in July 1942, Lale, prisoner 32407, puts the number 34902 on the hand of a trembling young woman. Her name is Gita. Despite their difficult situation, despite the fact that every day may be the last, they fall in love and, against all odds, believe that they will be able to survive in these inhuman conditions. And although the position of Lale as a tattoo artist is relatively better than the rest of the prisoners, it does not protect against the brutality of the SS. Again and again he risks his life to help his comrades in misfortune, and especially Gita and her friends. Despite the constant threat of death, Lale and Gita never stop believing in the future. And in this future, they will definitely live together happily ever after ...
