Holocaust Auschwitz love survival

Our Take

Lale Sokolov tattooed identification numbers onto prisoners at Auschwitz and fell in love with a woman whose number he tattooed. The love story is real and documented; the details of life inside the camp are rendered from his memory. The humanity he maintained under those conditions is both inspiring and unbearable.
