With yesterday being the 75 anniversary of D Day, I thought to read something from the history section and I chose 'The Tattooist of Auschwitz' author Heather Morris. Based on one man's account from the time - being a Slovakian Jew and forcibly taken to concentration camps in Auschwitz-Birkenau. Although it was a very hard book to read - it is also a testament to the endurance of love and humanity under the darkest possible conditions. Not for the faint of heart, but highly recommended. Comparable intensity to the 'Pianist'
