Cilka Klein is een jonge Joodse vrouw die Auschwitz weet te overleven maar daardoor als een verrader wordt gezien en naar een Siberisch werkkamp wordt gestuurd waar haar eenzelfde lot wacht.

In april 1942 wordt een jonge Slowaakse Jood naar Auschwitz gedeporteerd. Lale Sokolov staat vanaf dan bekend als gevangene 32407. De SS-officieren benoemen hem tot 'Tätowierer', tatoeëerder. Tweeënhalf jaar lang is hij degene die van duizenden gevangenen een nummer moet maken. Zoals van Gita, vanaf dan gevangene 34902. Terwijl hij gedwongen wordt haar te brandmerken, kerft zij haar naam voor altijd in zijn hart. Na drie jaar wordt Gita op dodenmars gestuurd en komt Lale in een ander kamp terecht. Beiden weten te ontsnappen en gaan op zoek naar elkaar. Gedurende zeventig jaar zwijgen Lale en Gita over het begin van hun relatie. Pas na Gita's dood durft Lale hun uitzonderlijke overleversverhaal te delen. De tatoeëerder van Auschwitz toont de moed van twee jonge mensen en de kracht van liefde onder de meest extreme omstandigheden.

A tale based on interviews that were conducted with Holocaust survivor and Auschwitz-Birkenau tattooist Ludwig (Lale) Sokolov. In April 1942, Lale Sokolov, a Slovakian Jew, is forcibly transported to the concentration camps at Auschwitz-Birkenau. When his captors discover that he speaks several languages, he is put to work as a Tätowierer (the German word for tattooist), tasked with permanently marking his fellow prisoners. Imprisoned for over two and a half years, Lale witnesses horrific atrocities and barbarism—but also incredible acts of bravery and compassion. Risking his own life, he uses his privileged position to exchange jewels and money from murdered Jews for food to keep his fellow prisoners alive. One day in July 1942, Lale, prisoner 32407, comforts a trembling young woman waiting in line to have the number 34902 tattooed onto her arm. Her name is Gita, and in that first encounter, Lale vows to somehow survive the camp and marry her.

Set against the harrowing backdrop of Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1942, the story follows Lale Sokolov, a Slovakian Jew who becomes a tattooist, marking his fellow prisoners. His language skills save him from the worst fates, yet he grapples with the moral implications of his role. As he navigates the brutality of camp life, the narrative explores themes of survival, identity, and the human spirit's resilience in the face of unimaginable adversity.
