Auschwitz et littérature à l'eau de rose font-ils bon ménage ? La Shoah est au cœur d'énormément d'écritures littéraires, du témoignage au livre d'histoire jusqu'à la fiction historique. Mais aujourd'hui, elle est aussi l'objet de livres très populaires, des best sellers comme La sage-femme d'Auschwitz, le Tatoueur d'Auschwitz, la Berceuse d'Auschwitz, L'Orpheline d'Auschwitz, La bibliothécaire d'Auschwitz... On dirait qu'on assiste à l'émergence d'un sous-genre de la littérature mélodramatique qui utiliserait la Shoah comme un moyen efficace pour émouvoir le lecteur à peu de frais. C'est le cas du Tatoueur d'Auschwitz, l'histoire vraie de Lale Sokolov et de son histoire d'amour avec Gita, romancée par Heather Morris, et publiée onze ans après la mort de Lale. Pour nous accompagner dans notre lecture, Torchon a fait appel à Alexandre Bande, enseignant, historien, spécialiste de la Shoah et l'auteur, notamment, de l'ouvrage d'histoire Auschwitz 1945, paru cette année aux éditions Passés composés. L'occasion de démêler le vrai du faux, et surtout de poser toute une réflexion éthique et critique sur la représentation de la Shoah dans les productions artistiques pour le grand public.

Listen in to a very special episode of Conversations with Alan featuring award-winning author Heather Morris who joined me from Brisbane, Australia.Heather dropped by to discuss her New York Times Bestselling book, The Tattooist of Auschwitz, which has sold over 13 million copies worldwide since its release in 2018, and the Peacock series of the same name that premiered in May 2024. The series stars Harvey Keitel as Lale Sokolov and Melanie Lynskey as Heather.Heather first met Lale in December 2003, shortly after his wife had passed away. She was told by a friend, that he had a story worth telling, leading to many days spent with the tattooist of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Lale's life was forever changed the day he looked into the eyes of a young girl as he tattooed her left arm, and she tattooed her love into his heart.What Heather received from Lale was a love story set against the backdrop of the Holocaust. The possibility of survival for these lovers was slim, but prisoners 32407 and 4562 did survive. They endured a place etched in history as a Dante-esque circle of hell, survived a death march, were separated and reunited, married, and lived happily in Melbourne, Australia, for 58 years. The Tattooist of Auschwitz is the story of Lale and Gita.In 2018, Heather visited Auschwitz/Birkenau, an experience that profoundly deepened her understanding of the stories she had heard from Lale.Don't miss this chance to hear first hand from Heather to learn how meeting Lale changed her life and how the dream they shared of seeing his story on screen was realized this year.
Lale Sokolov arbeitete im Konzentrationslager Auschwitz als einer der Tätowierer, die den Gefangenen die Nummern in den Unterarm stachen.

When Heather Morris sat down with Holocaust survivor Lale Sokolov, she didn't know what to expect. As she listened to his story, she knew that the world needed to hear his experiences of love and hope set in the midst of one of humankind's worst moments.Heather traveled to Dallas for the sixth Laura Bush Book Club edition of Engage at the Bush Center, presented by NexPoint and supported by H-E-B. Before the event, she joined host Andrew Kaufmann to discuss her novel The Tattooist of Auschwitz, the importance of remembering the lives lost in the Holocaust and the stories of those who did survive, and the lessons she learned from Lale Sokolov.Heather takes us through her journey of getting to know Lale — and reminds us why we can't waste a moment in capturing the stories from generations before us.Related content: Laura Bush Book Club with "The Tattooist of Auschwitz" author Heather Morris
Drei ganz unterschiedliche Serien mit historischem Bezug haben wir uns in dieser Woche vorgenommen, die Michael und Rüdiger sowohl alphabetisch als auch chronologisch besprechen. Zum Auftakt begeben wir uns mit der ersten Hälfte der dritten Staffel von "Bridgerton" (3:30) zurück ins 19. Jahrhundert wo natürlich wieder ein neues Kind der Bridgerton-Familie unter die Haube gebracht werden soll. Dieses Mal ist allerdings noch nicht so ganz klar, für wen am Ende die Hochzeitsglocken läuten, denn sowohl Colin als auch Benedict und Francesca Bridgerton haben neue bzw. alte Love Interests. Eine davon wird mit Nicola Coughlan vom heimlichen Star der Netflix-Serie verkörpert. Hilft Michael das, die Serie doch noch zu mögen? Oder muss Rüdiger erneut als einziger die Fahne für simpel erzählte Romanzen hochhalten? Im Anschluss schauen wir, was Ewan McGregor als "Ein Gentleman in Moskau" (22:24) von den 1920ern bis zu den 1950ern in einem Moskauer Hotel anstellt. Die Adaption eines Romans von Amor Towles hatten sowohl Michael als auch Rüdiger auf ihren Vorfreudelisten. Wird die Serie von Paramount+ den Erwartungen gerecht? Und schließlich verfilmt Sky mit "The Tattooist of Auschwitz" (48:13) einen Roman von Heather Morris, der die wahre Liebesgeschichte von Lale Sokolov und Gita Fuhrmannova erzählt, vom Auschwitz-Museum aber stark kritisiert wurde. Macht es die Serie mit Harvey Keitel und Melanie Lynskey besser? Cold-Open-Frage: "Wer solten die neuen 'Mr. und Mrs. Smith' werden?"
Lale Sokolov musste in Auschwitz die Inhaftierten tätowieren. Sein Leben wurde in "The Tatooist of Auschwitz" verfilmt. Jonas Nay spielt darin einen SS-Mann. In Zeiten des Rechtsrucks ist es ihm wichtig, diese Geschichte zu erzählen, sagt er. Nay, Jonas www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Vollbild
The Tattooist of Auschwitz (Sky) | Ein Melodram im KZ? Alljährlich wird am 8. Mai in den meisten europäischen Ländern dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges gedacht. Es scheint also angemessen, dass der Pay-TV Sender Sky seine neueste Eigenproduktion „The Tattooist of Auschwitz“, die bereits eine Woche zuvor in den USA beim Streaminganbieter Peacock Premiere feierte, in Deutschland erst zu diesem Datum veröffentlicht. Basierend auf dem gleichnamigen Bestseller von Heather Morris, wird in der sechsteiligen Mini-Serie die Geschichte von Lale Sokolov erzählt, der 1942 als ungarischer Jude im Konzentrationslager Auschwitz landet, dort zum Tätowierer wird und sich in die Mitinsassin Gita verliebt. Ob die Verfilmung neben der ohnehin umstrittenen Vorlage und auch ihrer schweren Thematik gerecht werden kann, erfahrt ihr von Melanie und Dom, sobald ihr auf Play drückt.

The Tattooist of Auschwitz, the debut novel for the gifted author, Heather Morris, was written while building a three year relationship with Lale Sokolov. Readers are taken back to April of 1942. Lale took his married brother's place to protect his family. The harrowing journey taken by this kind, caring and compassionate man is one of tragedy, hope, and perseverance. Lale and the others were herded into a cattle car. Some men were telling him to help them bust out of the cattle car but he cleverly replied, “If these walls could be breached don't you think a cow would've done it?” His witty comment calms them down and eases the frustration felt by all. They were taken to Auschwitz where Lale got typhus and was thrown on a cart for the dead. A young man pushed him off and the tattooist helped heal him and trained him to number the prisoners. Lale first met Gita as he numbered those entering Auschwitz. He asked how her day had been, she deftly answered, “Oh, you know how it is. Got up, had a big breakfast, kissed Mama and Papa goodbye before catching the bus to work…” to which Lale replied, “OK, dumb question.” Lale falls instantly and totally in love with this girl, 34902. Can love take root in conditions that are deplorable? The answer is yes! Lale and Gita proved it. Heather Morris shows readers the love story of a lifetime through the eyes of a sensitive soul. We learn how Lale and Gita's love impacted those around them. As Dana, Gita's friend said, “ It's enough that one of us has a little happiness, we share in it.” Lale's mother had once told him to be a good husband, “…learn to listen to her, learn what she likes and more important what she doesn't like.” This conversation occurred because Lale's dad was distant and cold. Lale didn't want to be like him so he sought the advice of his kind and caring mother. This story helps us learn to love better. “To save one is to save the world.” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/recapbookchat/message

La propaganda Nazi te hace pensar que vas a un campo de trabajo, pero a lo que llegas te das cuenta que estas en el campo de concentración más grande del régimen: Auschwitz. Esto fue lo que le sucedió al judío Lale Sokolov. Una historia de amor y supervivencia ante una de las mayores atrocidades de la historia humana. Si quieres sobrevivir a Auschwitz, y al mismo tiempo ayudar a todas los demás prisioneros vas a tener que hacer sacrificios morales, como el quizás "colaborar" con el enemigo ¿Fue esto lo correcto? Este libro basado en la vida real nos da el viaje a través de este debate moral del punto de vista de Lale Sokolov, centrándose en momentos de ternura amorosa y humanidad, así como en instancias de crueldad y maldad.

TRIBUTO: HISTORIAS QUE CONSTRUYEN MEMORIA DE LA SHOÁ, CON CECILIA LEVIT – Ludwig Eisenberg nació el 28 de octubre de 1916 en Eslovaquia. Será conocido como Lale Sokolov. Fue deportado al campo de exterminio de Auschwitz en 1942, donde se desempeñó como uno de los tatuadores del campo. No habló públicamente sobre sus experiencias durante la guerra hasta después de la muerte de su esposa en 2003, por temor a ser procesado como un colaborador nazi. Se estableció en Melbourne y allí rehizo su vida. Cincuenta años después relata su historia y las atrocidades vividas en aquel infierno de Auschwitz.
In 2003, I was introduced to an elderly gentleman "who might just have a story worth telling". The day I met Lale Sokolov changed my life, as our friendship grew and he embarked on a journey of self scrutiny, entrusting the inner most details of his life during the Holocaust. I originally wrote Lale's story as a screenplay - which ranked high in international competitions - before reshaping it into my debut novel, The Tattooist of Auschwitz. Latest novel - Three Sisters When they are little girls, Cibi, Magda and Livia make a promise to their father – that they will stay together, no matter what. Years later, at just 15, Livia is ordered to Auschwitz by the Nazis. Cibi, only 19 herself, remembers their promise and follows Livia, determined to protect her sister, or die with her. Together, they fight to survive through unimaginable cruelty and hardship.

By now, some of you may already know the name Lale Sokolov. The remarkable story of his time in Auschwitz has become a best selling book after an encounter with screenwriter Heather Morris led to the formation of a very important friendship. Lale was largely responsible for creating the most iconic, identifying feature of the Holocaust- the blue numbers that he was made to tattoo onto fellow prisoners' arms. What makes this story so memorable is his incredible zest for life – and the love story that developed against all odds, one that became a romance surviving for 60 years, decades after the camps closed. Difficult though the story is, it is a story of hope and of courage. Christy spoke with Heather to find out more about Lale and how she came to write the extraordinary book.
We caught up with Heather to talk about her novel The Tattooist of Auschwitz. It follows the true story of Lale Sokolov, who became the chief tattooist in the Nazi camp.
