When his captors discover that he speaks several languages, he is put to work as a\u00a0T\u00e4towierer\u00a0(the German word for tattooist), tasked with permanently marking his fellow prisoners.<\/em><\/p>\n Imprisoned for more than two and a half years, Lale witnesses horrific atrocities and barbarism\u2014but 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.<\/em><\/p>\n 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.<\/em> New Movies on the Shelf this week is \u201cAnyone But You\u201d starring Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell, \u201cThe Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare\u201d starring Henry Cavill and Eiza Gonz\u00e1lez, \u201cNext Goal Wins\u201d starring Kaimana and Elizabeth Moss and \u201cAbigail\u201d starring Melissa Barrera and Dan Stevens.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Wawa Public Library\u2019s staff and friends have been busy making these adorable Pocket Hugs.

\nA vivid, harrowing, and ultimately hopeful re-creation of Lale Sokolov’s experiences as the man who tattooed the arms of thousands of prisoners with what would become one of the most potent symbols of the Holocaust,\u00a0The Tattooist of Auschwitz\u00a0is also a testament to the endurance of love and humanity under the darkest possible conditions.<\/em><\/p>\n
