The Tattooist of Auschwitz
On Saturday morning, I. took my kids to the library. I had just finished the Songbird and the Spy by J'Nell Ciesielski. Watch for the review coming soon. As I was perusing the shelf, looking for the pink tags indicating Christian Fiction, I noticed The Tattooist of Auschwitz! I have been wanting to read this book, since I first heard about it. Get more information about the book here.
This is not a Christian fiction book. It is a historical novel based on the story of Lale Sokolov and how he survives his time in Auschwitz- Birkenau and even finds love. I found the story gripping and thought-provoking. It is a a beautiful tale of hope and love in the midst of horrifying evil. God can and does use any and all situations. The Tattooist of Auschwitz digs into the choices each person had to make during this time, calculating risks in order to help others or just to survive. The concentration camps of World War II are a part of history that is almost too terrible to think about; however, I find stories of people who found and shared hope during these un-imaginable circumstances to be inspiring and beautiful. The Tattooist of Auschwitz was exactly that, inspiring and beautiful.
