The Secret Story of the Auschwitz Tattooist
by Ivan
In 1942, a man called Lale Sokolov arrived in Auschwitz-Birkenau.
He was given the job of tattooing the prisoners the Nazi had marked for survival. His job was simple, yet unforgettable: scratching numbers into his fellow victims’ arms in indelible ink to create what would later become recognized as one of the most potent and terrifying symbols of the Holocaust.
As the Tetovier (tattooist), it meant he was “a step further away from death than the other prisonersâ€. Lale received a number of benefits such as a single room, extra rations, and free time when his work had been completed.
