El tatuador de Auschwitz / Heather Morris ; traducci?̐ưon de Julio Sierra.
"Hay numerosos libros sobre el Holocausto, pero ninguno como este. Se basa en una incre?̐ưible historia real detr?̐ưas de uno de sus s?̐ưimbolos m?̐ưas potentes: los n?̐ưumeros azules tatuados en los brazos de los prisioneros de los campos de concentraci?̐ưon. Cuando a Lale Sokolov le fue encomendada la tarea de tatuar los n?̐ưumeros en las v?̐ưictimas que, como ?̐ưel, eran encerradas en Auschwitz, us?̐ưo la m?̐ưinima libertad que su rol le permit?̐ưia para intercambiar joyas y dinero de jud?̐ưios asesinados por comida para ayudar a otros a sobrevivir. De ser atrapado, lo habr?̐ưian matado al instante. Lale se propuso vivir una vida tan plena como le fuera posible dentro de esas terribles circunstancias. Una ma?̐ưnana, en la fila de prisioneros que esperaban para ser tatuados, una joven temblorosa llam?̐ưo su atenci?̐ưon. Para ?̐ưel fue amor a primera vista y se jur?̐ưo que, si lograba salir del campo, la buscar?̐ưia hasta encontrarla."--Provided by publisher
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 T?̐ưatowierer (the German word for tattooist), tasked with permanently marking his fellow prisoners. Imprisoned for more than 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.
