Based on interviews with Lale Sokolov, a Slovakian Jew deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau in April 1942 and put to work as the camp’s tattooist because he spoke several languages.
The job gave him rations he could trade and a small, dangerous freedom of movement, which he used to get food to other prisoners. It also brought him, one morning, the young woman whose number he was made to tattoo. They both survived. Published elsewhere as The Tattooist of Auschwitz.
