I really thought I would love this book, but I didn’t. I am a big fan of historical fiction books and learning about history through fictional as well as real characters.

Breathtaking. First book that I manage to listen to an audiobook without falling asleep. But the events were to exciting that I reverted to a physical book after 1/3 of the book. Learnt about the tragic events of Auschwitz and the bravery of the Lale, who was a Slovak Jew who ended up being the Tätowierer.

To think that this is just one (slightly merrier story) out of the millions untold stories of the horrors of the Nazi regime saddens me.
