“Politics will help you understand the world until you don’t understand it anymore, and then it will get you thrown into a prison camp. Politics and religion both.”
The Tattooist of Auschwitz, is a harrowing true story- one that grips your heart from the very beginning. This was a beautiful story about perseverance and hope. Stories about this time in history, usually are very difficult to read. They make you uncomfortable and just give new perspective on how blessed we really are regardless of where we are from. At least that's what they do for me.
The story follows Lale, who became the main tattooist of Auschwitz and falls in love at first sight with Gita, who he first met tattooing her arm. There are a ton of books about the holocaust - but this one was different for me because it grips your emotions. It was a beautiful thing to read that love and hope can still reside in the most difficult of situations. Especially with this being a true story- It leaves a mark, and makes you humble and makes you think.
I really cant say I enjoyed reading this because it was hard and emotional- but it was a must read if that makes sense. Its just a story I feel everyone should read and if for only a moment- count their blessings. 100 % recommend!!
