A novelized memoir based on the experiences of Auschwitz survivor Lale Sokolov, a Slovakian Jew who spent almost three years in the camp. He tattooed numbers on the arms of fellow detainees including Gita, a woman who would become his wife. the horrors of the camp are interspersed with stories of their love affair. As with all Holocaust literature, there are uplifting moments but mostly a horrible realization that this really happened. Richard Armitage does a great reading.
