Summary/Abstract: This article aims at revealing once more the unbelievable atrocities of the greatest humanitarian tragedy witnessed by humanity: the Holocaust. Heather Morris’ novel The Tattooist of Auschwitz is an amazing document reminding us of the millions of innocent Jews and gypsies tortured and murdered in the Nazi hells: the concentration camps. Auschwitz, the dismal world in between the normal life led by Lale Sokolov and Gita before the war and the inferno where despair and death rule. This article is a warning that we are not to ignore or forget what happened more than seventy years ago because it might happen again if we are irresponsible.
