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. Ils doivent se contenter de minuscules moments de joie, qui leur font oublier le cauchemar du quotidien. Mais Lale a fait une promesse  : un jour, ils seront libres, deux jeunes gens heureux de vivre ensemble. Deux personnes plus fortes que l’horreur du monde. L’histoire vraie d’un homme et d’une femme qui ont trouvé l’amour au cœur de l’enfer.

Powieść oparta na faktach przedstawia historię Lalego Sokołowa, który tatuował numery na przedramionach więźniów w Auschwitz. Po ponad pięćdziesięciu latach milczenia, tuż przed śmiercią, postanowił opowiedzieć swoje losy, które spisała autorka. Lale trafił do obozu w 1942 roku, mając dwadzieścia sześć lat i znajomość kilku języków. Jego zadaniem było zadawanie bólu więźniom, jednak dzięki swoim obowiązkom cieszył się w obozie wyjątkową wolnością, co wykorzystał, by pomagać innym. Wśród wielu książek o Auschwitz, wspomnienia Lalego wyróżniają się odwagą i hartem ducha. Pewnego dnia w kolejce do tatuażysty stanęła młoda, przerażona dziewczyna - Gita, w którą Lale zakochał się od pierwszego wejrzenia. Ich uczucie, zrodzone w obozie, przetrwało nazistowskie piekło; pobrali się i spędzili razem resztę życia. Lale zdecydował się opowiedzieć swoją historię dopiero po śmierci Gity. To łamiąca serce, a jednocześnie dodająca otuchy opowieść, będąca literackim dokumentem o piekle Auschwitz, napisaną językiem powściągliwym. To historia najpiękniejszej miłości, która przezwyciężyła to piekło. Książka, którą warto przeczytać.

A tale based on interviews that were conducted with Holocaust survivor and Auschwitz-Birkenau tattooist Ludwig (Lale) Sokolov. 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 (the German word for tattooist), tasked with permanently marking his fellow prisoners. Imprisoned for over 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 privileged position to exchange jewels and money from murdered Jews for food to keep his fellow prisoners alive. One day in July 1942, Lale, prisoner 32407, comforts a trembling young woman waiting in line to have the number 34902 tattooed onto her arm. Her name is Gita, and in that first encounter, Lale vows to somehow survive the camp and marry her.
