Lale Sokolov is the man who inscribes the blue numbers on the arms of Auschwitz prisoners. He is forced to do it. From his convenient position as a tattooist, he witnesses and experiences human brutality, recording it in numbers and victims. He records it in endurance and in the courage of the soul. He maps it in his emotions.

He records it in death and in love. He fights his own secret battle under the cold, inhuman gaze of Mengele. His only hope is Gita, the girl he will love amidst the utter human misery...

A true, deeply moving, and shockingly human story of love and survival in one of the horrific Nazi hellholes.
A powerful lesson in life that conquers oblivion.
