LOVED BY OVER 13 MILLION READERS ACROSS THE WORLD

The first book in Heather Morris's highly acclaimed The Tattooist of Auschwitz series - now a major Stan Original Series.

In 1942, Lale Sokolov arrived in Auschwitz concentration camp. He was given the job of tattooing those prisoners marked for survival. Waiting in line to be tattooed, terrified and shaking, was a young girl, Gita.

I tattooed a number on her arm.
She tattooed her name on my heart.

So begins one of the most life-affirming, courageous, unforgettable and human stories of the Holocaust: the love story of the Tattooist of Auschwitz.

About the Author

Born in New Zealand, Heather Morris is passionate about stories of survival, resilience and hope. In 2003, while working in a large public hospital in Melbourne, Heather was introduced to an elderly gentleman who 'might just have a story worth telling'. The day she met Lale Sokolov changed both their lives. Lale's story formed the basis for The Tattooist of Auschwitz and the follow-up novel, Cilka's Journey. In 2021 she published the phenomenal conclusion to the Tattooist trilogy, Three Sisters, after being asked to tell the story of three Holocaust survivors who knew Lale from their time in Auschwitz-Birkenau. Together, her novels have sold more than 16 million copies worldwide. Her exceptional new novel, Sisters under the Rising Sun, was published in 2023 bringing another heart-wrenching true story to life with experiences of women in Japanese POW camps, and how they found bravery in sisterhood and hope to survive in music.
