Heather Morris Libros

Hay numerosos libros sobre el Holocausto, pero ninguno como este. Se basa en una increíble historia real detrás de uno de sus símbolos más potentes: los números azules tatuados en los brazos de los prisioneros de los campos de concentración. Cuando a Lale Sokolov le fue encomendada la tarea de tatuar los números en las víctimas que -como él- eran encerradas en Auschwitz, usó la mínima libertad que su rol le permitía para intercambiar joyas y dinero de judíos asesinados por comida para ayudar a otros a sobrevivir. De ser atrapado, lo habrían matado al instante. Lale se propuso vivir una vida tan plena como le fuera posible dentro de esas terribles circunstancias. Una mañana, en la fila de prisioneros que esperaban para ser tatuados, una joven temblorosa llamó su atención. Para él fue amor a primera vista y se juró que, si lograba salir del campo, la buscaría hasta encontrarla. Durante cuatro años, Heather Morris entrevistó a un anciano Lale Sokolov. Apoyándose en sus encuentros y en abundantes documentos pero con la potencia de la mejor de las ficciones, El tatuador de Auschwitz narra esos hechos que permanecieron casi desconocidos durante más de setenta años. Por trágico que sea el relato, es un llamado a la esperanza y al coraje. Y, sobre todo, una inolvidable historia de amor y supervivencia. Una novela basada en una inolvidable historia real.
