I couldn't wrap my head around the way that this beautiful couple Lale and Gita found love despite the atrocity they faced, and this truly explains that love does wonderful things. The Tattooist of Auschwitz is based on a true story from real survivors of the Holocaust, where Lale is fortunate enough to know several languages which granted him a better job as a tattooist by marking numbers on the new prisoners with ink. Little did he know that he will be finding the love of his life during harsh circumstances given that they are both working inside a concentration camp and every day that passes by is treated as if it's their last. Although both didn't want to get their hopes up and weren't able to make plans for the future, Lale always made sure to stay hopeful while Gita seemed more realistic, both were able to have a relationship inside the concentration camp.
The audiobook was beautiful because it gave me the right amount of details to be taken back and get into the heads of the prisoners which I felt frustrated, sad, anxious, and mostly angry overall. I loved how informative this story was, and I would recommend everyone to read/listen to this book because it will give you a different meaning in life.
