改編自納粹集中營真人真事，一名猶太裔刺青師的愛與生存，以及劫後餘生，走過創傷的和解之路

1942年四月，二戰期間，猶太裔男子勒利‧索可洛夫(Lale Sokolov)被運送到納粹最冷血的奧斯威辛-伯肯諾集中營。當他暴露了自己的多國語言才能，納粹將他奉命為「刺青師」(Tätowierer)，為其餘同僚囚犯刺上他們永久的編號印記。

在被監禁的殘酷歲月裡，勒利見證了無數暴行，但卻也看見了人們不可思議的堅毅與生存希望。他冒著生命危險，藉由職位之便將想辦法弄來的珠寶與金錢換為食物與衣物，試圖挽救其餘同僚囚犯的性命。七月的某一天，勒利正安撫一名隊伍中緊張而顫抖的女子，準備刺上她專屬的集中營號碼4562 。女子名叫吉塔(Gita)，在他們初相遇的第一眼，勒利就決定要活過煉獄，娶她為妻。

這是一則在黑暗之中與愛砥礪同行的故事，起源於作者海瑟‧莫里斯過去任職的墨爾本醫院。這位名叫勒利的先生因為過往的集中營創傷經驗而封閉自我。即便幫助延續了同僚的性命，刺青師的身份，以及透過不法手段取得利益的行徑，仍舊讓勒利活在與納粹同為共犯的人生懊悔中。海瑟花了三年時間打開勒利先生的心房，寫下這一則讓全世界動容，磅礡憂傷，卻在生命絕處湧生希望的故事。

“This is a powerful, gut-wrenching tale that is hard to shake off.” — Kirkus Reviews

“To many, this book will be most appreciated for its powerful evocation of the everyday horrors of life as a prisoner in a concentration camp, while others will be heartened by the novel’s message of how true love can transcend even the most hellishly inhuman environments. This is a perfect novel for book clubs and readers of historical fiction.” — Publishers Weekly

“Like the Nobel Prize-winning author Elie Wiesel’s Night, Morris’ work takes us inside the day-to-day workings of the most notorious German death camp. Over the course of three years, Morris interviewed Lake, teasing out his memories and weaving them into her heart-rending narrative of a Jew whose unlikely forced occupation as a tattooist put him in a position to act with kindness and humanity in a place where both were nearly extinct’’ — BookPage

“The Tattooist of Auschwitz is an extraordinary document, a story about the extremes of human behavior existing side by side: calculated brutality alongside impulsive and selfless acts of love. I find it hard to imagine anyone who would not be drawn in, confronted and moved. I would recommend it unreservedly to anyone, whether they’d read a hundred Holocaust stories or none.”—Graeme Simsion, internationally-bestselling author of The Rosie Project
