1942 wurde Lale Sokolov nach Auschwitz deportiert. Seine Aufgabe war es, Häftlingsnummern auf die Unterarme seiner Mitgefangenen zu tätowieren, jene Nummern, die später zu den eindringlichsten Mahnungen gegen das Vergessen gehören würden. Er nutzte seine besondere Rolle und kämpfte gegen die Unmenschlichkeit des Lagers, vielen rettete er das Leben. Dann eines Tages tätowierte er den Arm eines jungen Mädchens - und verliebte sich auf den ersten Blick in Gita. Eine Liebesgeschichte begann, an deren Ende das Unglaubliche wahr werden sollte: Sie überlebten beide.

1942: Cecilia Klein ist sechzehn Jahre alt, als sie in das Konzentrationslager Auschwitz-Birkenau deportiert wird. Fasziniert von ihrer Schönheit, trennt der Kommandant des Lagers sie von den anderen Gefangenen und missbraucht sie regelmäßig. Cilka lernt schnell, dass ihre unfreiwillige Machtposition Überleben bedeutet. Doch nach der Befreiung von Auschwitz wird Cilka von den Russen als Kollaborateurin angeklagt und in das brutale Gefangenenlager Workuta in Sibirien geschickt. Dort steht sie vor neuen und gleichzeitig schrecklich vertrauten Herausforderungen.

The Tattooist of Auschwitz is based on the true story of Lale and Gita Sokolov, two Slovakian Jews who survived Auschwitz and eventually made their home in Australia. In that terrible place, Lale was given the job of tattooing the prisoners marked for survival - literally scratching numbers into his fellow victims' arms in indelible ink to create what would become one of the most potent symbols of the Holocaust.

In April 1942, Lale Sokolov, a Slovakian Jew, is forcibly transported to the concentration camps at Auschwitz-Birkenau. When his captors discover that he speaks several languages, he is put to work as a Tätowierer (German for tattooist), tasked with permanently marking his fellow prisoners. Imprisoned for more than two and a half years, Lale witnesses horrific atrocities and barbarism - but also incredible acts of bravery and compassion. Risking his own life, he uses his position to exchange jewels and money from murdered Jews for food to keep his fellow prisoners alive.

Cilka was only 16 years old when she was taken to Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp, in 1942. The Commandant at Birkenau, Schwarzhuber, noticed her long beautiful hair, and forced her separation from the other women prisoners. Cilka did what she had to in order to survive Auschwitz. And yet after Russian soldiers liberated Auschwitz in 1945, Cilka was charged as a collaborator and sentenced to serve a 15-year sentence for 'sleeping with the enemy'. Once again, she found herself on a brutal train journey, crammed into a carriage with many desperate women and children.

Sous un ciel de plomb, des prisonniers défilent à l'entrée du camp d'Auschwitz. Bientôt, ils ne seront plus que des numéros tatoués sur le bras. C'est Lale, un déporté, qui est chargé de cette sinistre tâche. Il travaille le regard rivé au sol pour éviter de voir la douleur dans les yeux de ceux qu'il marque à jamais. Un jour, pourtant, il lève les yeux sur Gita et la jeune femme devient sa lumière dans ce monde d'une noirceur infinie. Ils savent d'emblée qu'ils sont faits l'un pour l'autre. Mais dans cette prison où l'on se bat pour un morceau de pain et pour sauver sa vie, il n'y a pas de place pour l'amour.

Non esiste un luogo in cui l'amore non possa vincere. Il cielo di un grigio sconosciuto incombe sulla fila di donne. Da quel momento non saranno più donne, saranno solo una sequenza inanimata di numeri tatuati sul braccio. Ad Auschwitz, è Lale a essere incaricato di quell'orrendo compito: proprio lui, un ebreo come loro. Giorno dopo giorno Lale lavora a testa bassa per non vedere un dolore così simile al suo finché una volta alza lo sguardo, per un solo istante: è allora che incrocia due occhi che in quel mondo senza colori nascondono un intero arcobaleno. Il suo nome è Gita.

In Stories of Hope, Heather Morris will explore the art of listening - a skill she employed when she first met Lale Sokolov, the Tattooist at Auschwitz. It was her ability to listen that led Lale to entrust Heather with his story, which she told as the novel The Tattooist of Auschwitz. Now she shares her story of how she learned to listen. Heather grew up on a farm in rural New Zealand. On her way back across the paddocks from school, she would visit her great-grandfather and listen to his experiences of war - stories he told only Heather.
