Read February 2023 - Zoom Reading Circle
As we probably imagined,
The Tattooist of Auschwitz was a difficult read but many felt an important one. Several of us mentioned learning new aspects of the holocaust that we hadn’t considered, including the horror of drawing Jewish persons into doing jobs that were harmful to fellow Jews. The atrocities were almost more than our minds can take in. Ultimately, I appreciated the hopefulness in the good of humanity that Barbara re-directed our attention toward. I appreciate her thoughts of holding both the weight of the evil and the strength of the good & hopeful together.
Book club rated this a 4.
Here is an article I found that talks about the two main characters in this book, Lale and Gita Sokolov.
