You’ll cry, you’ll cry some more, and you’ll finally understand. “The Tattooist of Auschwitz” will draw you into a world that will fascinate, terrify, and completely destroy you. But in the end, you’ll finally understand what it was truly like for the people forced into a war they wanted no part of. While this may seem like a terribly depressing review, I wholeheartedly suggest this read to anyone who wants to spend time better understanding the world around them. We need to learn from our histories.
