There is a bit of contion as to the facts in this biography when you look into it. If you take his story with a pinch of salt however it still makes for a great read! (0 more)

An extremely interesting read to be taken with a pinch of salt

Lale's story as a jew who's job it was to tattoo new inmates at Auschwitz is a very interesting one. He has a unique perspective of life at the concentration camp, as his job allowed him a level of status not experienced by others of his background. The story however is quite dry at times and some parts are an effort to get through. I would say its worth reading, although I would question how accurate it is.
